    turning right wing means the direction of the arrow points towards “conservative”. Also, if the men’s line goes downward, that means more and more men are conservative, as the line is the average.

      Except in 2 of the 4 graphs, young men are still more liberal-leaning and in Germany it’s only barely conservative leaning. What they all have in common however is young women becoming extremely liberal-leaning. The headline in other words is misleading.

        but they are still “turning rightwing”, because they are becoming more and more conservative.

        But it’s true, to be complete, the headline should mention that women are turning leftwing too. The problem remains the same though, with men wanting traditional women, and women wanting progressive men.

        It’s going to be interesting.
