Majority Wants More Gender Equality

An Economist/YouGov poll finds 45% of Americans say the country has not gone far enough on gender equality, while 17% say it has gone too far and 38% think it’s about right. The gap is strongly patterned by party (75% of Democrats vs 21% of Republicans) and by sex (57% of women vs 33% of men), and other items show continued ambivalence about feminist labels and forms of address. — Broad public support for additional gender‑equality measures — concentrated among Democrats and women — matters for electoral messaging, party platforms, workplace policy debates and cultural conflict over ‘wokeness.’
