It's a well observed tendency for women to tend to be more in favour of socialist candidates whilst men are more prone to falling for fascism.
If men didn't have the vote then the whole brexit mess could have been avoided in the UK.
Not a massive surprise Sanders would poll better with women.

It is a little early to be hitting the sauce.

Stop using facts to undermine perfectly good anecdotal evidence.
I've seen cases where anecdotal evidence explains the outcomes better than facts.

Well my anecdotal evidence goes straight against this one.

Not to mention how archaic and misogynistic the whole "ladies are nice and caring and fluffy, and men are forceful and uncaring" stance is. Besides being pretty wrong.

I'd say its less down to caring and more down to thinking in more than one dimension.

Are you changing your contention to young women are more likely to support socialist candidates than young men?

Bernie's exit polls from the earlier states seem to suggest a different dynamic (at least among voters)

Stop using facts to undermine perfectly good anecdotal evidence.

Now, now, it depends on whether he was replying to Meri or to Tyr.  If it was Meri, yes, then he was using facts to undermine anecdotal evidence.  If it was Tyr, then he was using facts to undermine inane delusions.  Quite a different thing.

There's nothing inane about it. It's a pretty interesting divide.

No?
The data there lines up with what was said. More women voting left than men.

This exercise isn't even worth my time. Goodbye.

In a totally unscientific poll on Facebook, one of the political pages I'm on asked who people were planning to vote for. Most of the 750 people who commented said either Warren first and Biden second, or Biden first and Warren second. Very few say Bernie, and most of those were men.

Again, totally unscientific, but interesting.

Most of the Bernie supporters I know are women. So there you go.

Is that also interesting?

It is to me, so thanks for sharing.  :)



Sure :)

My wife, and her mother and her friends, are big Bernie supporters.

It makes sense Bernie voters skew male with Warren still in the race, assuming she skews female.
