4B movement: Progressive Women Now Interested in Abstinence

In the lead-up to the 2024 election, so much ink was spilled over the gender gap, it seemed like every woman in America was projected to vote for Kamala Harris. (Turns out, not every woman wants a female president more than they want a healthy economy.)

While there was a clear gender gap in the exit polls, it was nothing nuclear. Fifty-four percent of female voters cast their ballots for Kamala and 44 percent for Trump — a decent margin, but nothing record-setting. (In 1996, 55 percent of women voters picked Bill Clinton, while only 38 percent voted for Bob Dole.) On the flip side, 54 percent of male voters went for Trump, while 44 percent voted for Kamala.
