We should remember that the GOP was the first party to endorse the ERA and no Democratic president even discussed gender issue until Kennedy's Equal Pay Act. 1980 is when the GOP rescinded the amendment from its platform on Jesse Helm's request. This is probably part of the reason women voted more Republican before then.
Another interesting thing is the three times that Democrats have won the male vote since Vietnam - 1976, 1992, and 2008 - were all during recessions.
