The more stridently ideological GOP candidates (by which I include both the more conventional conservatives and the Ron Pauls) always do better with men than women. This has been true since pretty much forever.
Bachmann may be something of an exception to that. Early on, she was getting more support from men, but now it's more even, with some polls showing her doing better with men and some with women.
Does the ideological Democratic candidates do the opposite with women? White women are more likely to cast their vote for a Democratic candidate over a Republican where the opposite is for guys. I think men have more connection with the GOP macho image over the girly men Democrats that want to take their guns away and that GOP=hard working and Dem=lazzy ass. This is even more true with white males that tend to shy away from those welfare loving minorities and feminist that want to abort the middle class, christian, straight, white male race.
