This is a fascinating trend. I didn't know it was a global phenomenon. I'm going to predict that women's views will start closing the gap.
The cliche is that men care about ideas and women care about relationships. As it becomes more socially acceptable to hold conservative ideas, more women will profess to hold them, especially if it helps their romantic relationships.
If that's right, a longer timeseries of this same data should show women lagging men.
Western or westernized nations
Good point about the social acceptability of conservative ideas

India is what I was thinking, but I didn't know if I was forgetting someone obvious.
I haven't seen the data, but from the younger Indian people I know, I wouldn't be surprised if the trend holds there, too.
