I think woman are more creative and fluid in their moralism while men are more binary - there are benefits and problems with both approaches but there are gender differences in moral reasoning. I mean there is a guy on my friends list who told me Trump is a good person because he hates abortion even though Trump cheats on his wives and is openly racist. That is moral binarism. I've also met woman who told me I wasn't allowed to be angry at my dad for abusing me because my dad loved me - that is moral relativism and moral fluidity. Both are wrong.

Women are social and think about people in need, children, homeless people, refugees. Men care about financial and traditional values.

Women tend to have strong nurturing instincts and they want everyone around them to be protected from the world. The left-wing wants to give everyone a safety net, so it is a natural fit for females.
Guys want to get their children ready to face the world on their own, free of their mother's apron strings. The right-wing wants everyone to be self-reliant and not dependent on the government for their support. It is a natural fit for men. Because of gender roles and social constructs. Women are taught from they're little that emotions, caring for the weak and raising children are important. The left-side promotes free healthcare and education, elderly care and welfare for the poor people. Men are taught that making money are important and owning a business helps a lot. The right-side are more business owner friendly giving them more rights and benefits than what the left-side wants to.
Mhhh... this is something relatively recent, or at least it's in my country.
I would say nowadays there are more leftist women because left parties has women as a target, and make promises or try to create or change laws that has to do with women. To say it other way, they are a company that has change their target to women and adapted their product to women.
However in the past there weren't that many politics based on identity and gender as now... and in my country beign religious, going to church almost everyday and trusting the priest's opinion was something very common for women and not that much for men. Religion in my country has always been very linked to right wing, and thereforw women used to be mostly right wingers, as most were very religious. So, when women were allowed to vote in my country after dictatorship, the idea was supported by the conservative party and not the socialist. Socialist party wanted to avoid giving vote to women because they knew most women in that time would vote right.
But in the end, nowayds it's like it's because of what I say before, parties center in a target, and left parties want to focus in women.Men think more basic black and white concepts- making them less likely to deviate from a planted system.
Easier to control, and right wing is more about structure and staying "safe" in what is familiar.
Left wing gears more towards innovation, which women think more abstract than men do.
For example abortion;
Right wingers are more against abortion because the previous system was based off God, and that religious notion of keeping God happy, makes them feel 'safe' and justified.
Dont kill another human, born or not, since the purpose very basic for people is to live lol.
It's pretty straightforward.
But,
The abstract of that, is the conditions of the abortion, conditions of the man and woman involved, quality of the child's life if born, etc etc.
Left wing digs into the grey areas and colored parts of the spectrum of a topic, as those things are key factors too.
Problem with right, is resistance to change.
Like technology, society also needs to innovate with the times. Imagine going to war with rocks and sticks, when we have fucking laser guns and tanks now.
Problem with left, is resistance to structure.
Everyone can't all be right. Someone has to be wrong, and sugarcoating those that are wrong, is destructive to the overall wellbeing of all. There needs to be a spine and skeleton holding the flesh together.
Gender harmony is what makes the genders flow well, as men tend to provide structure, and women the materials, colors, design, etc that complete it.
There honestly shouldn't be two sides for a fucking country that calls itself UNITED.
Pretty hypocritical.
We should have political harmony.
Not a prissy mean teen girl fight every election.Let's face it... Women are neither inherently Liberal or Conservative.
THEY ARE GRIFTERS!
And because of that, they would align themselves with the dominant narrative in society, be either Conservative, Liberal, Communist or National Socialist, as long as it is "dominant".
It happens to be that Liberalism is the dominant narrative nowadays, even many so-called "Conservatives" embrace its rotten values (individualism, immorality, apathy and so), just as an example of how dominant Liberalism is: it has the last words on media, culture, academia. All platforms to talk. Liberalism even serves as an excuse for some female's poor choices during their lives, "I'm free to do whatever I want"... Also, they can het a lot of brownie points and social validation for repeating some Liberal platitudes.
If women don't do it, they are public shamed by most of their peers and treated as a kind of "gender traitor". If they do, they can get people's attention, emotional support, and money.
So question is, why wouldn't women be Liberal in a Liberal society?Because the modern post-Obama left wing alienates men. The exception is Andrew Yang going out of his way to relate to Trump voters who lost their jobs to robots/automation. I feel like Bernie Sanders can do the same.
I think a lot more men were leftist before Clinton and I think they would turn back to the left if Democrats started targeting men more, which other than Yang, they haven't.
I will add that there is no Republican party anymore, they have been taken over by the Tea Party and are absolute loons and/or slaves to loons and racists, sexist assholes. Even Ronald Reagan would not want anything to do with the current Republicans and he basically started this version of the right and the Bush family did not vote for Trump either, McCain criticized Trump until his death, Romeny hates him too. I remind you these people were Republican Presidential candidates or actual Republican Presidents. I haven't heard Dick Channel, Condiliza Rice, Colen Powell or any of the old Bush people ever support Trump. Even Lindsey Graham hated him and recurrently works with him. If you are still a Trump supporting Republican, get your head checked. That guy is a NOT a Republican, don't take my word, ask actual Republicans who have governed you or almost governed you. He pretends to support men but he WILL throw you under the bus if convenient. Just look at how he treated his own Vice President and his own lawyer. No matter who is the Democrat nominee, they WILL be better than Trump for men.Men know how cut throat this world can be, we are judged based on our value. So we are a bit more cut throat, because it’s how we feel the world treats us. Therefore, we look at “what’s best for the economy?” “What will provide a better job for me?” “What will keep me and my family safest?”
Maybe this is a bad example, but it’s the beat I can think of right now:
Women see a family living in poverty in a 3rd world country, being separated at the border, and put themselves in that family’s shoes. They think “how terrible that must be!” AND IT IS TERRIBLE. But a man thinks “if we let all those people in, they’re gonna want jobs. If they’re willing to do my job cheaper than I do it, they’ll replace me. I don’t get paid enough as it is! And some bad people are bound to get in with the good people, what if they hurt my loved ones? No absolutely not. The safest option for me and my family is to not let anyone in.”
Men think about what’s best for themselves and their families because a man is judged based on how well he provides for them.Women are more compassionate and so go left wing because it is the left that promises to help everyone (except for the (loosely defined) rich people) at seemingly no expense to the average middle class person.
Men on the other hand tend to believe:
a) the government should focus on other things, such as the military. «Tomahawk missile for the win!»
— This view is actually largely still leftist as it still requires the same sized government. The only difference being where the budget is spent.
b) there should not be a nanny state.
— This is actual conservatism. These men usually believe a person should either care for themselves or the community should. In other words: the solution is not to have a big state that has enormous power and control over people's lives.
While seemingly in-compassionate it actually dictates that problems should be fixed by the person with the problem and that any outside help should come from willing helpers; forcing taxation to help is not compassionate as it requires one party to suffer to help the other.I would say because (usually) females tend to be more emotive, sympathetic and base their decisions around feelings (yes plenty of exception, but overall more women tend to operate this way)
Whereas men (usually) tend to be more logic based making decisions based on what makes the most sense for the most people. (Again i know exceptions but overall)
Which means men are more likely to support/agree with positions that hold greater benefit for the greater good and are less inclined to consider the feelings of individuals.
Whereas females are more likely to support positions that cater more to the feelings of the individual.
The issue is rather than working together and accepting that difference and using the strengths of each gender to find a nice sensible balance between feelings and fact (over simplified i know) there seems to be this push to divide the two and create an us vs them culture.
Men and women in general are different, and there is good reason for this. Instead of trying to silence one side or the other, the two should come together, listen to the others view and reach compromise between the two. This is the best way for human kind to move forward succesfullySo first I wanna say this is my personal theory and I don't know of it's true.
Because women are nicer and kinder, which means they are seeking to create a better world for all people, which is what the left is trying to achieve.
Men on the other hand are more competitive, aggressive and violent, which means that men generally seek to "defeat" their self-proclaimed and made-up "enemies". If politicians start to bash other ethnicities or religions like mexicans, muslims or jews men are more likely to pick up on that. For some reason men are very competitive so they see those people that are different from them as different categories of people that are competing with their own. Basically right-wingers categorize people as "we" and "they". So if "they" cross "our" borders illegally "they" are or course the enemy.
Ao basically it's black/white thinking and the assumption that for some reason different groups, ethnicities, people of certain countries, gender etc. are competing with each other instead of just trying to work together and see humanity as a whole.Most left wing individuals use their emotions to drive their decisions. They don't use logic and reasoning, they don't see long term.
I don't know why anyone would even want to be a part of the left. They want the government to control everything, high taxes, a socialist society, to take all guns away (disarming the citizens), are okay with killing children.God, leftists are so stupid and disgusting, as shown in this comment section.
"White males are power hungry and want to benefit themselves." *spits*
For the most part, women don't really give a shit about politics. They just follow social programming from the media and education that the left is the 'good' side and the right is the 'bad.'
The left always gets it's support by pandering and by painting the right as religious fundamentalists. "We're fighting for YOU, gays, trans, minorities, women, immigrants, etc. Don't listen to those guys over there, they do everything according to an old book, and that book tells them that you're bad!"I'm sorry, kinda a stupid question. It's like safety measures for the woman. Like in a relationship the gentleman always has his girl on the left of his body when walking on the sidewalk that way he's closer to the road than the woman. Same thing in bed, when going to bed the man usually sleeps closest to the door because it is most likely the girl would be safe incase of a break in. It can also just be a habit outside of a relationship or a "natural instinct" I wouldn't know. When I'm with friends and/or boyfriend like on school campus or in a store I'm always on their right (or left) basically no where that could pose a possible threat (s).
I imagine it has to do with our greater level of empathy. The left sounds utopian and empathetic towards others. It takes a degree of disassociation from emotional thinking to realise what is practical and actually does more good is on the right.
I have also heard that women shift further right and men further left as they age. I imagine that has something to do with men and women growing more versed in the world, and in each other as they age. We have a lot to learn from each other - that is for sure.Errr... the demographics here are quite a bit more complicated than being a men vs. women thing. Young men tend to be more Liberal than older men. Older women tend to be more Conservative than younger women. Non-White men are more Liberal than White men. The more educated both men and women are, the more Liberal they are. And so on.
The answer, in my opinion, isn't that Liberals target POC and women while Conservatives target white men (although that's definitely a defensible position) - it's that Conservatives aim to maintain the status quo with very slow change. Unfortunately, the status quo in a country founded by and ruled by old white men for over 200 years greatly favors old white men, as you might imagine. Conservatives aren't actively going out and making pro-oldwhiteman policies... but they are arguing strongly to maintain a system that was built around old white men. So it comes of absolutely no surprise when people who aren't old white men aren't Conservatives.The right wing is the conservative wing and as such tends to be more in favour of older ideals that tended to have women in a more servile role.
If you look at the generally more right leaning or right dominated countries their conservative attitudes and laws put far more restrictions and limitations on what women can do.Because Christian white men are considered the majority, and they have it good right now and always have, but are losing control over everyone else. So they often try to keep things how they are or revert us back to the "glory days".
Women have always been more progressive, Women's suffrage for example. They want to be treated more equally and they see the same problem with others so they push for new policies in order to further benefit the nation as a whole and the people within itLeft wing is seen as more caring and about social responsibility while right wing is more me first fuck everyone else. Pretty much the difference between the sexes.
Men are willing to suffer or be left alone in order to have total freedom. Women have no problem adapting to social norms if it means having protections and help from society.
This is why all left-wing dictators and left-wing regimes inflate women's egos for years and tell women they're better than men for around a decade or so before destroying the economy and taking over. We're seeing this in the US right now.
During the 90s Venezuela was RABIDLY anti-male and the women were trained to be tooth-and-nail against men to the point men were basically cowering to the women. By the late 90s men were seen as either toys, children or pieces of shit by most women. By 2003 they insituted Marxism and by 2013 the economy was destroyed.Conservatives you can relate to the " good ol' boys club " what was is what should be. Resistant to change. Liberals are looking for new and different ways to achieve the same thing. Look. at history. We had to fight for race equality. We fought for equality for sexes. We need improvement in both areas. The white male has not been the minority to be discriminated against. They never lived the other side. They have always been the controlling majority and they dont want to loose it. The way it was is the way it should remain. Religion is a big part of being conservative, the white male has the biggest influence there. Women has always taken a back seat in positions of power there. Abortion, gay rights.. policy set by white males in power positions in religion. Most religions has the woman subservient to the husband. It worked for thousands of years, why should it not work tomorrow...
