On top of policy specifics, feminism has become an increasingly apt liberal identifier because of what accompanies it. The name carries implied support for abortion and workplace equity — issues that, unfortunately, can no longer be separated out from “feminist” goals. The great shares of young men rejecting the term and young women concentrating on it indicate pretty well-defined and far-apart concerns, with young women in the camp proven further left from the center.
But Kaufmann’s religious analogy is spot on: If young women are the group most inhabiting the Left, and the Left is a cult of wokeness, young women’s decline in religiosity tracks perfectly. They have found a “new religion” in devoting themselves to set “marginalized” people. Just as religion is supposed to do, theirs moves deeper into its cause over time.
Young women saw groups of older women mobilize into the Women’s March and the #MeToo movement take off, both in 2017. Platforms such as Instagram catered to them with galvanizing flashes of information. At the same time, young men looked elsewhere to learn their place in the uproar, whether from forums on Reddit, pseudo-sophisticates on Twitter, or psychologist

A simple echo chamber effect could partly explain college-aged women’s wokeness. Yet women have had female-only spaces for centuries without so drastic an outcome, so that account is far from sufficient.
