Conservatives are into controlling people and mostly controlling women. If anything is surprising, it is that there are any women conservatives at all. This is also very similar to religions that treat women poorly. Why are any woman part of those religions?

Fear? Indoctrination, social pressures?

Subjectification. People normalise what's normal for them.

That's a gender gap I can get behind!

OK, so what was going on in the world around 2010 that caused such a sharp rise in women becoming more liberal?

FTA:

The #MeToo movement was the key trigger, giving rise to fiercely feminist values among young women who felt empowered to speak out against long-running injustices. That spark found especially dry tinder in South Korea, where gender inequality remains stark, and outright misogyny is common.

Yeah, it also doesn't help that in SK, men are conscripted to the military for years and enter the workforce with somewhat of a disadvantage.

"Misogyny" is half the story.

Well South Korea looks like a barrel of laughs if you're in a relationship...
