Why do women vote at higher rates than men? What would happen if turnout were equalized?

I read that team Trump is making a major push to get low educated low turnout men to vote more. They are well aware of the stats.

I think perhaps men should be disenfranchised for a decade, to work on their issues. If you quote me, I will deny it (a sinister force hypnotized me composed this text and  post it as a captive mere conduit).

Where have you heard that?

I don't recall now. I read it, not heard it - somewhere. It makes total sense however. That's the most loyal base of all. Trump himself has said he loves uneducated people, not as a Christian or something, but because that is his food source as it were.

*Actually very questionable, because to both parties' consternation turnout levels are not really correlated with election results in any consistent way.

Pew has some thoughts on this.

Here is a Pew update for 2022. A bunch of Dem women in particular did not show up to vote who had in 2020. Ditto for Dem Hispanics. Almost nobody flipped. Swing voters are just not a thing anymore. I suspect that surprises no one.
