The gender gap we know of today, with women voting 7-10 points more Democratic than men in US Presidential elections, burst onto the scene in 1980.
I'm curious as to if

A. Reagan getting the Equal Rights Amendment removed from the GOP party platform caused this.

B. The absence of a gender gap in 1972 and 1976 was an aberration.

Women are more empathic and less hawkish than men, I think. Also, abortion.

They're also more willing to defend people accused of crime than men. Except rapists, they're always much tougher on rapists than men.
I also find that women are tougher on "think of the children" crimes than men. I find that fathers are stricter about their kids behaving in ways that they percieve as disrespectful while mothers are stricter about their kids making decisions that they see as risky. For example, fathers tend to be stricter about "talking back" while mothers tend to be stricter about underage drinking.

I suspect that Anita Hill increased the gender gap.
