Interesting political gender differences

TheCatWoman

It's been noticed for a while now that men in general and young men in particular are more right wing and likely to vote Reform, what's been missed is that the total opposite has been going on with women. Women seem to be voting Green in quite high numbers, and seem to be more aware of the climate crisis and more socially aware.

Another interesting polarity in an already polarised world.

I find it interesting that this shift is being under reported

  • I have heard a few things recently on news items. like there is a difficulty now with disposing responsibly worn out clothes and sheets if they contain synthetic materials, due to the polymers?

    I also heard something about Farage saying he didn't want people working from home. Not sure if that is all posts or just some.

    There have been floods and fire in different places. There seems to have been several in America, yet if I am correct, there are large cars and the culture of walking does not seem to exist there like it does in the UK. I know it is variable here, as although I see lots of people walking, there are some who will drive to shops 5 minutes walk away. The drivers are often younger and several who walk are older and used walking sticks. I also feel it is unnecessary to run a vehicle for several minutes, sometimes unattended as this pollutes the atmosphere. I guess what I am getting at is that small things would help.

    In respect of finances, there are lots of businesses which offer cash payments avoiding paying tax which would generate more public money and the NHS uses private services which in my experience waste money.

    People drive their kids to school five minutes down the road, in SUVs (coz, you know, you must buy an SUV as soon as you have one child!) and leave them running. Drives me crazy, we don't even live in the same village and we still walk.

    I'd happily see SUV's banned in cities and towns, we have a few round here, but then we're rural and people do really need them, you can usually tell who's local by the age and amount of mud on the vehicle, most people round here don't have new cars and people who need suv's because they live in places that would wreck a normal car.

    Having been one of those people who've lived up a rough track that killed cars, I've driven a few suv's and most of them are rubbish, they look the part, but are terrible to drive, don't cope well on rough ground and drink fuel.

    I do do some short journey's though, there's a walk Fearn and I love, it's quite a long walk, I'm finding now that I have to drive the road bit and leave the car and walk the rest. It's only about quarter of a mile to drive, but its the difference between me feeling pleasantly exercised and totally wiped out for the rest of the day
