Feminists and the Gender Gap
Abstract
In recent years, analysts have devoted considerable attention to the gender gaps in party identification and voting. Despite its importance, substantially less attention has been concentrated on the gender gap in public opinion. In an effort to remedy that situation, this paper focuses on gender differences and differences among women in political values and basic moral orientations. The findings suggest that feminists are distinctive in their fundamental values; and that feminists account for a large part of the gender gap in specific issue preferences. The implications of such findings for feminist theory are discussed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
