A growing segment of young American women have come out firmly against conservative ideologies, diverging significantly from national trends.
According to a recent poll conducted by 19th News/SurveyMonkey, nearly 80% of Gen Z women – those born between 1997 and the present – lean decidedly left on various social and political issues, with many identifying as liberal.
What's striking is that compared to their male counterparts in the same age group, who account for a higher 30% Republican affiliation, these young women have made up their minds and stand firmly against conservative values.
Among key topics such as abortion and gender-affirming care, Gen Z women show an even more pronounced leftward leaning. It seems that their views are not only influenced by the changing social landscape of their generation but also reflect a unique blend of progressive and inclusive ideals.
What's crucial now is listening to their voices and understanding what drives these strong opinions – and whether young American women see themselves firmly within the liberal camp, or if they occupy a space beyond traditional labels.

- it's about time more women take a stand for their rights & values! 
The fact that 80% of Gen Z women are leaning left is, like, so empowering 
and I think it's amazing how they're not afraid to speak up on issues like abortion & gender-affirming care... they're setting an example for everyone else 
I mean, who needs labels anyway? these young women are creating their own paths & that's what being progressive is all about 
. I mean, it's like, their parents' generation was all about feminism and equality back in the day 
, but now they're living it and making a statement 
. And honestly, can you blame them? The world is changing so fast and young women are being forced to grow up way too quickly 
. They need someone to look up to who's gonna fight for their rights and protect their bodies 
. I'm loving the fact that they're embracing progressive and inclusive ideals - it's about time we see some real change 
. We just gotta listen to what they have to say and figure out how to work with them, not against them 
.
I think its pretty cool that Gen Z women are speaking up and taking stances on issues that matter to them. Like, who says you have to fit into a specific label just because your parents or society expect it? 
We should def be listening to what they have to say and learning from their perspectives!
It's like, what about those who don't fit into one camp? Are they being ignored or is there a space for nuance?
. And you know what's even more impressive? They're not just repeating whats been said before, they're actually creating their own perspectives and values that are all about progress and inclusivity 
.
.
Whatever the reasons, I think it's crucial to listen to these young women's voices and try to understand where they're coming from, rather than just assuming we know what's best for them.
