Excerpt:
"We've been told for a decade that men are "radicalizing to the right" and that this is dangerous. The actual data shows the opposite. Men barely moved. Women moved 20+ points leftward.
The story we are told is exactly inverted from reality. And when female leftward movement does get discussed, it's framed as progress: "women becoming more educated, more independent, more enlightened"
They'll tell you the graph shows enlightenment and progress. Wrong.
The graph shows is capture.
This Isn't Just America

isn't important when there is any risk. A world that is safe enough is unlikely to exist.
Such a world would be utterly stagnant and then the stability would collapse, imo.
No amount of assurance from lying government thieves will change that.
Explanation suggested:
Women are programmed for nurture and security.
So, in times of radical societal change, they will unconsciously go for the welfare state, social security, government care cradle to grave.
But, as economic opportunities open to all (there are signs women are getting preference in jobs) this will change. Result, women will, increasingly, go for risk/return in financial, social and political decisions.
