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.

The differences are surprisingly large, and raise intriguing questions about why more women than men are drawn to these ideas.

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.

I reject this conservative framing! Gender is a social construct! What is a man? What is a woman?

Can be a reason, I don't disagree completely. But that should not be held as a sole reason.

Do gender stereotypes about female gullibility make women more likely to be deceived in business negotiations? New research, led by Laura Kray of Berkeley-Haas, indicates that the answer is yes.
