Contrary to well established trends today, women prior to 1980 actually voted more republican/conservative than males

I wonder why? I have some probably ignorant theories;

-Men were more tied to organized labour which was hugely behind the Democrats

-Women had more time to listen to the radio being stuck at home all day, which means more conservative commentary (was that the case back in the day? I imagine there had to be more liberal radio shows back when radio was big but idk)

-Women used to be the more religious of the sexes

-Conservatives come off as better authority figures and in a time when women were taught to listen to authoritative men that probably pushed women towards the Republicans

-The Republicans pushed for women’s suffrage and Democrats didn’t (over simplification but it’s true)
