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.
Prior to that, however, the 1968 election had a 4-point gender gap (with Humphrey winning 41% of men and 45% of women). It promptly disappeared in 1972, as (white) women decided crime was a more salient issue than women's rights.
Since 1980 the gender gap has fluctuated slightly year to year, with little overall change.
Could anything alter, multiply, eliminate, or even reverse the gender gap at this point? Voting for felons, widespread implementation of Sharia law, etc?
