In this research note, we assess gender gaps in attitudes pertaining to several important and distinct policy areas, including redistribution and the role of the state in the economy, gender equality, traditional “moral issues” such as abortion and homosexuality, immigration, and the environment. Drawing on comprehensive survey data from 14 established democracies in Western Europe, we find clear evidence that women are generally more “progressive” than men are. More specifically, we document that women have more progressive attitudes than men do on all the five attitudinal dimensions that we consider, and these patterns are remarkably similar across West European countries, despite the cross-country differences in political cultures and systems. As anticipated by previous arguments, we find that gender gaps are often larger among young citizens than older ones. We also elaborate on potential implications of our findings for other political outcomes of interest, including voting behavior and the functioning of representative democracy, and point to avenues for future research in detailing the mechanisms that contribute to the observed gender gaps.
