I think it’s a huge factor for the following reasons:
Young girls are *extremely* naive. We continue to be so into adulthood (you see this everywhere). To a utopian degree. The only girls who are not extremely naive are those that were victimised OR those who have suddenly a tiny bundle of very fragile joy that needs protection.
A conservative is a liberal (woman) who’s been arrested (metaphorically, by the reality of danger out in the wild world). As the saying goes.
Our default mode is leftbrain. The trend, as I see it, is not that we are *moving leftward* but that we are not moving rightward, as expected. We are stuck in utopia mode. The women who have babies and then go all-in on woke are an exception but my (less strongly- held) theory is that the dissonance actually makes these women crazier. They are trying to cling to utopian ideals while recognising that people can be awful and unfixable. Makes bitches crazy.
