Young men are not getting more conservative. It just seems like they are because young women are getting so much more liberal.

This is more of an unpopular fact than opinion, but I see people frequently stating the opposite on this sub, so I figured it deserves saying.

Based on the most up-to-date and comprehensive study on political ideology and demographics in the USA (Gallup Poll's Social Series) men aged 18-29 have consistently identified as conservative at about 25% for the past 25 years, with only slight variation over the course of that time-frame. Any sense that young men are getting more conservative is purely the result of the significant increase in women aged 18-29 identifying as liberal or social-media echo chambers.
