Summary
Trend underlines vast gender divide as election approaches, as experts say some women face pressure to ātoe the lineā politically at home.
A TikTok trend of women ācanceling outā their partnersā votes highlights a gender divide in the 2024 election, with many young women supporting Kamala Harris while their male partners back Trump. Campaigns encourage women, especially those in conservative households, to vote independently, emphasizing privacy through ads featuring voices like Michelle Obama and Liz Cheney. Conservatives like Charlie Kirk and Jesse Watters criticize these efforts, claiming they undermine family values.
High, especially if theyāre younger. Half of Gen Z and 40% of Millennials have lied about who they vote for in what researchers believe is an attempt to not strain work, familial, or social relationships. 27% Democrats, 24% Republican and I think 20% of Independents.

Iām going to grant you the statistic, sadly the misogyny runs very deep in this country.
And Iāll point out it still sets up the same dichotomy as āmen fear a woman will laugh at them, women fear a man will rape and/or kill them.ā
This, exactly. A male Trump supporter lies about voting for Trump because he fears being ostracized.
A female Harris supporter lies about voting for Harris because her partner might kill her.
If this wasnāt true, we wouldnāt need the āYour vote is secretā messaging from the Dems.
