Interestingly it looks like in 3 of 4 charts men have, at worst, returned to mean. It's the women getting more leftist. And I don't blame them.

Conservative being down is a good presentation choice.

[-] sanguinepar@lemmy.world 3 points 34 minutes ago

From a personal point of view, I agree, but playing devil's advocate, really the chart should be flipped so that the left/rightness is shown that way and the dates are on the vertical axis.

It'd also be good if the time periods matched, and if there was a source for the data.

Mine curves to the left

When I think of all the women & girls in my life that I care about, I remember that I could never be a conservative. It would be a betrayal.

Assuming this is accurate, I'm pleased to see men in the UK bucking the trend.

Hey look if you start taking away white male privilege they freak out when they find out people of other races, genders and creeds are better than them, who knew?

As women gain independence, frightened men turn to patriarchal solutions. Hence a turd like JD Vance spouting hateful and controlling rhetoric on podcasts and Ahole Tate brainwashing adolescent boys. Fuck these people.

A few folks have mentioned that these charts

  1. conflate liberal/conservative with the dominant left/right parties in these nations
  2. does not include people who do not identify with one of those dominant parties
  3. have some somewhat unreliable stats magic behind them

A lot of young men in the US are reporting themselves as "not a Democrat or Republican", and that's causing a lot of this proportional shift. I would bet that characterizes a lot of folks on this site who are not conservative.

On the flip side, in Europe extreme right parties are mostly being propped up by young men, while in other age groups men and women vote relatively similarly, which supports this finding.

What the fuck South Korea? Also you just know that sudden rise in liberal men in the UK is the Tories' doing.

SK is wild right now. Women are taking part in the 4B movement (no dating, sex, childbirth, or marriage. The Korean words start with "B"). There was a online feminist group that got people so heated they thought they were sneaking hand signals into "male" media and they were getting people fired. If certain characters didn't come out with risqué enough clothing, male netizens would blame some secret feminist in the company. Women are assaulted if they're confused for a feminist due to just their hairstyle. A book ("Kim Jiyoung 1989" I think) that is, like, baby's first feminist literature, can have your spouse leave you. Men say you can't date a woman whose read it. All the book is about is the subtle sexism women face. They have an epidemic of "molka," which are secret cameras in women's bathrooms among other places. Women tell each other to bring nail polish to paint over the screws to protect themselves. Their new president is looking to abolish the gender equality ministry and blames feminism for the low birth rate.

TL;DR: Yeah, it's pretty bad over there right now.

Holy fuck. There are legitimately third world countries better than this what the fuck.

Anti-feminism has taken a huge hold in SK. it's partially related to the draft, but that's nothing new. women have been getting increased respect over the past decades, esp in sharp contrast to the pre-war era when women didnt even deserve names beyond "X's mom".

the situation for women is actually improving a lot here, in many ways better than in other developed nations. consider it just one last baby whine

[-] Fidel_Cashflow@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 hours ago

oh yeah, South Korea has gone off the rails recently. lots of news stories about men assaulting women for the assumption that they're feminists, anti-woman politicians being elected, women losing their jobs for being (or assumed to be) feminists, it's all Very Not Good.
