WESTERN SOCIETY has no shortage of stereotypes about the activities and interests of men and women. Have they shaped how they think about politics? When asked the question “How interested would you say you are in politics?”, the share of men who answer “very” or “fairly” interested is significantly larger than that of women. This phenomenon has been observed across more than a dozen rich countries. It may have harmful consequences.
The authors suggest several possible explanations for the gap, ranging from social norms to the under-representation of women in public life. They note one intriguing correlation. In countries with more gender equality—as measured by an index developed by the European Institute for Gender Equality, a think-tank—the gap in interest in politics tends to be smaller.
Either by choice or design.. Women are politically savvy at home.. Pots pants penis...in that order... The international Home Affairs Ministry..!!

Oh look, another gender gap that doesn't take into consideration the pay of different fields and careers. It's almost like it's intentional.
Seriously How can so many men say they are interested in politics when it's interminably dull?
I guess women have a better bullshit filter?
