My thread arguing that the gender gap in and of itself does not favour either party.

Sure it's bad for Republicans if they lose women badly, but it's equally bad for Democrats if they lose men badly. Given you already know the margin, the gender gap doesn't make a difference.

You're right. There is also something implicitly sexist in claiming that the gender gap "hurts republicans", since that assumes that it is women who diverge from the "norm" which men represent. Not that I think Snowstalker is sexist, at all, but I think his essay (which is pretty good overall) is very poorly worded in that regard.
