Note that various surveys report young women and young men diverging a lot more politically. Partly because women's rights have become so politicised.
What is the womans suffrage movement?
I may be extrapolating on a single statement too far, but I do feel that you are missing a huge chunk of history regarding all the rights women (at least regarding the US) did not have.
Womans rights have been political for the last 200 years if not longer.
That's a hand-wavy way of saying that a core pillar of one of your parties is to take away the rights of an entire gender.
Imagine describing 1940s Germany and saying "Ethnicity has become so politicized these days. I'm just interested in nationalizing the auto industry"
I think you're being a bit obtuse here. In the specific case we're discussing, the "someone, somewhere" isn't just a random internet troll. It's the president and supreme court.
How about a woman's right to equal employment opportunity? 67% of women are in favour of DEI, while most men (57%) take the opposing view. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/poll-american...
The primary political parties are definitely catering to those sides.
In 1974, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA) made it illegal for banks to discriminate in lending based on sex or marital status, allowing women to get credit cards, loans, etc.
In 1978, the US passed the Pregnancy Discrimination Act.
The rate of working women went from 30% in the post WWII 40s, to over 50% in the 1970s.
And divorces. They went from 9.2% in 1960, to 22.9% in 1980, and have been slowly declining since then.
I think the political split between genders is MUCH stronger for singles. It's kind of a trap actually.
We can find hundreds of dividing lines if we insist.
