Well I have talked about this before but to make a long conversation short, right wing politicians usually targets men as their primary demographics rather than women. As such their appeal is more effective among men.
gender isn't that much of a factor in which wing you lean towards. race is much more influential factor and racial minorities are more likely than white people to be left ring than right wing.
What about other countries? Are white people in Uganda more likely to be right wing too?
Yeah probably not. Race is not a factor, being a minority is.
Gender is more interesting however because while blacks or mexicans or whatever are not a minority everywhere in the world, women are women and men are men. But yet there are still differences in their political affiliations.
Right wingers tend to see things from a strictly rational, calculated, and fiscal view. Left wingers tend to see things more from an emotional and social view. Women tend to be more driven by emotions and people than men.
This isn't rocket science.
I know that is a common held belief but its actually very misleading I find. If someone is conservative they are more likely to be male but if you're male it does not make you more likely to be conservative.
Because many right wing policies directly benefit just men.
It's weird that people believe this. I guess that's the goal of the democratic party though. They preach that kind of stuff.
@cavmanier "It's weird that people believe this."
Lets humour the idea, if its just left propaganda then right is not exactly doing a good job convincing women. Women are more likely to vote democratic party.
Maybe because right winged are less tolerant and slightly more controlling for lack of a better word? I'm not sure.
Lefties believe in collectivist societies which redistribute wealth using government force. How could that be more tolerant and less controlling?
@mateynine well that's fair but I was referring to various other thing in general.
It looks like most people agree going by the comments.
Because men are more rational and more focused on providing security and group-identity while women just want to mother shit. Mother children, mother migrants, mother perceived victims and yada-yada. Without any thought for the consequences of that.
You see how the woman looks more happier than the man? Left wing people are less bitter than right wing.
There are statistics that show that women have always been happier than men... any thoughts on why that might be?
Wow I don't think that's true. It wasn't that long ago that women didn't have the same rights as men, in some places we still don't. And in my country women were forced to stay in the house and couldn't work.
That doesn't automatically mean that they couldn't find purpose and contentment in their lives
And that doesn't mean that men automatically had it any better in terms of quality of life or happiness
No I still think those stats are wrong.
It obviously does mean that men had it better In quality of life/happiness. And still do.
I disagree based on the stats but I respect your opinion
*based on the stats [I've seen]*
That's his happy face lol
I think it's funny how women have more things to be bitter/angry about, but in general are less bitter. I mean look at the picture both women are smiling while the men look angry or something.
Victim andy
And women commit suicide far less. They generally live longer and happier lives than men and yet for some reason males are considered privileged.
The main men who commit suicide are older men.
Across all ages men still commit suicide far more often than women.
(personal opinion but all those older men killing themselves probably got divorce raped and lost custody so they're stuck paying tons of child support while living broke and alone with nothing to show for it. meanwhile the ex-wifey is hooking up with other men and spending like crazy)
No young men don't commit suicide that much more than young women. Older men commit suicide much more than older women, even though women are the ones that mainly face ageism. Isn't that crazy?
Hmm, being divorce raped in your 40s versus listening to a few comments about how old you look... yep it's crazy
![Why are men more right-wing and women more left-wing?]()
You sound unintelligent. How about the fact that most rapists are male? Also Men marry gold diggers knowing they just want your money. You guys tell each other to use money to get women. It's your guys fault, no one else's. Now go away right wing.
That's why I tell men to never marry. Any woman can become a gold digger if you marry her because the ball is in her court at that point.
No You should tell each other to not be so foolish to think that a young or pretty woman wants to take an ugly or old man seriously.

Women are naive and use feelings, while as men are more logical.
The left is extremely naive and just... Dumb.
The right are naive and dumb too.
Uhhh... wrong.
Men use their logic as a guide more than they use emotion. While women use emotion more than men. Lefties exploit emotional responses and gains supporters without needing logic and reasoning.
Well traditionalist states, countries, cultures, etc tend to have men as the decision makers, but many of these states have already basically been traditionalist so it's just normal for them
I feel like both men and women are equally on the left and right wing, but a lot of the right wing is showcased with men.. does that make sense?
It's more because of a society deviding thing nowdays. Though, it's more common in the younger generations.
Just remembered that, say, US left-right is not near the same as Swedish left-right.
So my answers logic may differ by where one lives.
Men care about facts,
Women care about feelings.
Sure you want to help every suffering person on the planet, but ressources are finite, you can't help everyone, no matter how much you want to.
Have no idea, but in terms of politicians they all full of shit. I don't think people should keep putting themselves in those categories and just be decent human beings.
Well that is the problem, peoplr have different ideas of what being a decent human being means.
Because women are more emotion based, and so is liberalism. Conservatism requires more thought rather than simply acting on emotions.
Cuz women's brains run on feelings and emotion, and that's all the libtards have - there are no facts or logic involved. God help us if they ever take over.
Because women are naive about the world, and they expect that things will turn in their favor just by virtue of fate. Men are more realistic and know inherently that positive outcomes must be rent from the chaos that surrounds us.
Its because wo1mem are more emotional. Many liberal men may be "female brained", so to speak, or conservative women more "male brained,. In some cases, it's because women may support more social welfare spending.
