Thank you Richard for (1) your honesty in identifying AI as your primary source (Google? Anthropic? or ??), and (2) the plethora of detailed sources.

Your sources offer stats and time period against which to illuminate both mutability and methodology within post-modern theories and epistemological research concerning “the Feminine Psyche.”

The problem is that many young women have become left wing radicals, and openly express hate for men (and especially White men). They are not open to facts, logic and reason.

The other obstacle is that socialism and Islamism has merged with the Democratic Party, and may, in my view, displace moderate Democrats.

Richard-Thank you for your perspective on gender patterns. Presumedly, your essay is well researched, as indicated by your paragraphs that lead with intro phrases such as: “A recurring hypothesis,” “Research proves,” “Evidence shows,” and other phrases that indicate your perspective is possibly factually based. As a research scholar on core causes of gender patterns, I would value knowing your resources that formulate and influence your perspective as presented in the above essay.

I have to be honest, I relied a lot on AI. Some of the sources are cited by the last name of the researcher. The article doesn't have footnotes. So I asked it to give me a list. So here it is:

Peer-Reviewed Academic Sources & Meta-Analyses

Surveys, Reports & Data Analyses

Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) College Free Speech Rankings (analyzed in 2025 reports, e.g., Lenthall-Cleary on eternallyradicalidea.com and related Substack analyses). Large-scale student survey data showing men are significantly more tolerant than women of controversial campus speakers, with the gender gap often exceeding ideological differences.

Cato Institute (2017). The State of Free Speech and Tolerance in America. National survey finding women are substantially more supportive than men of hate speech restrictions (e.g., 57% of women vs. 36% of men favoring bans on offensive speech about African Americans).

Survey data (n=1,004) on unwillingness to date across political lines, with notable gender gaps (especially among young adults).
