The sexes don’t always see eye to eye when it comes to wokeness, with women being considerably more sympathetic than men to woke beliefs and practices. This isn’t just anecdotal; it’s borne out by the data, as shown in the graph below. The differences are surprisingly large, and raise intriguing questions about why more women than men are drawn to these ideas.

I mean, yehs. No shit.
Maybe in time I'll have a thing or two to say about that. How much of this, would you think, is just the standard result in psychology that women display much higher levels of agreeableness than men?
I would say it's 50/50 psychology and culture. I don't see Indian women supporting wokeism like they support in the west.
Men traditionally have to provide, they're brought up to be competitive, tough and self-reliant. Consequently, they tend to develop an internal locus of control. Women are brought up to spend other people's (typically their husbands') money and come up with creative ways to justify expenditures.
What do you say about the husbands who live off the wealth of their wives? I'm sure you'll find quite a few unemployed men these days in comparison to women.
Sure they exist, it's just that those are not the traditional gender roles, which still shape our upbringing and political views.
Gender is a social construct
Most of it I would guess
I reject this conservative framing! Gender is a social construct! What is a man? What is a woman?
Are you a woman? 🤔
I can't tell you I'm not a biologist
Let's be honest 😂
it's because all these ideas are packaged neatly inside third wave feminism duh
Can be a reason, I don't disagree completely. But that should not be held as a sole reason.
Gender is a social construct
guess we have to read this study
Interesenting...

Very interesting. Women are generally more empathetic and caring.
