    Is this really what the study shows? The BI article makes that claim but doesn't show any data besides a contradictory graph that shows young men identifying as "liberal" has stayed roughly the same. Yes, the gap between young men and women has increased, but I'm a little skeptical that young men overall have been shifting right compared to previous generations.

      Yeah idk, something seems off about this data. The UK results are especially weird, I’m not ready to just accept these results. It’s also trying harmonize results from different polls. Might be a broad trend in the US of young women becoming more liberal faster but the idea that young men are more conservative than they were years ago, not sure about that.

      This too conveniently falls into reactionary narratives about women.

        I can't view the FT page. Is this multiple studies or just one? Who did the studies? That might give some hints if there is some intent behind publishing the study or studies.

          Different studies for each country (fine print at the bottom of the image)
