    Inherent factors could explain different ratios of conservativ vs liberal views in men vs women of that age group, but not drastic changes to such a gap. I’d also rule out brain development as a factor simply based on differences between countries. Human populations do have variances, but not to such a degree when it concerns something this fundamental.

    This may have affected my younger brain’s susceptibility to extremist views

    Or for a positive spin “openness to new or different ideas and values”

      I skimmed through a few articles out of curiosity, and some suggest that polarizing statements (e.g. claims of male discrimination) from far-right leaders resonate with young men. Is this testosterone, lack of maturity, etc. or just human behavior? If the shoe was reversed, would the percentage of conservative women increase?
