Shock of Shocks: Liberal Women Are the Loneliest Women in the World

It would take a heart of stone not to laugh.

Liberal women are the least likely to report being fully satisfied with their lives and are far more likely to report feeling lonely often, according to analysis from a recently published poll.

The 2024 American Family Survey reportedly found that 37% of conservative women and 28% of moderate women, between the ages of 18-40, reported being "completely satisfied" with their lives, but just 12% of liberal women in the same age group said the same.

Liberal women were also nearly three times more likely than conservative women to say they experienced loneliness at least a few times a week.

Brad Wilcox, a sociology professor at the University of Virginia and fellow at the Institute for Family Studies who analyzed the survey's data, said he believes there are a couple of reasons why conservative young women are more likely to be happier than their liberal counterparts.

"We've seen in the research that conservative women tend to be more likely to embrace a sense of agency and to have the sense that they are not, in any way, the victim of larger structural realities or forces," he told Fox News Digital.

"They're also less likely to catastrophize about public events and concerns," and "more likely to think of themselves as captains of their own fate," Wilcox added.

Wilcox also broke down the poll by the relationship status of the women surveyed.

According to his analysis, 40% of liberal women reported being single, while 31% said they were married.

For conservative women, 33% reported being single and 51% were married.

The 2024 poll was released in early February 2025, and conducted Aug. 22-29, 2024, by YouGov for Deseret News and the Center for the Study of Elections and Democracy at Brigham Young University.

On the other hand: if I can speak broadly for a moment, while acknowledging this rule is not absolute and there is a lot of variability in women, women tend to more influenced by groupthink and collective "norms" then men. When a social convention is established by "authorities," whoever that may be, women tend to follow those conventions.

Men tend to be more inclined to rebel.

Liberal women are, of course, the biggest group-thinkers of all women.

My point is: Most liberal women didn't entirely choose an ideology that makes them alone and unloved and bitter. There is a cadre of tastemakers and culture warriors (much of those being liberal women in positions of power and influence) who have declared venomous Eternal Sex War Politics to be virtuous and beyond debate. Most liberal women didn't really choose this; they choose only to be conventional, and the women and gay dudes who determine what feminine culture are have set this as their conventions.

On the other hand, women, and even liberal women, shouldn't be infantalized. They make their own decision. They continue choosing extremely stupid, toxic, and self-defeating "norms" to believe in and champion with the zealotry of a jihadist.

That's on them. No one can be cured of ignorance by someone else. It's up to everyone to cure his or her own ignorance.
