U.S. election reveals widening gender divide in voting patterns

The recent U.S. presidential election highlighted a growing divide between men and women, with both Donald Trump and Kamala Harris framing their campaigns around gender issues. Preliminary exit polls show young women overwhelmingly supported Harris, while young men favored Trump. This election reflects a long-standing cultural battle, with women gaining more influence in recent years. Jia Tolentino notes that some men feel threatened by these changes, leading to a significant gender gap in voting patterns. The divide is characterized by differing fears: men worry about losing their traditional roles, while women fear potential oppression. This dynamic underscores the contrasting conservative and progressive views on gender in America today.
