Recent work by the American political scientists Michael Tesler [UC Irvine political science professor], John Sides and Colette Marcellin shows a huge shift in Republicans’ opinions about where women belong: roughly half of Republican men now say that women should “return to their traditional roles in society” – that is, at home raising children – a 20-point jump from the number who said the same in 2022. Republican women are less enthusiastic about women returning home, but 37 per cent agree that they should, compared to fewer than a quarter who said so in 2022.
