Being less educated and living the traditional life of sitting at home and doing house work.
Easy.

My guess is from a rise in hatred of homosexual men during the aids epidemic in the 80s maybe?

That's why there are so many incels conservatives and more lesbians, the numbers talks from themselves.
Sounds like the women did better advance planning if they're still getting laid.

The important thing here is to know how did they measure young people's political ideologies. I wouldn't expect it was self-perceived as currently, people has a hard time admitting they are conservative compared to admitting they sympathize with a conservative party.
If it was determined by a questionnaire, it would be interesting to see what questions were included. Maybe the questions weren't well planned and that's it. Maybe they equalled feminist takes to ~~progressive~~ liberal ones, which is something that can be discussed. In this case, I would be picky about the origin of the graphics.
If the importance of women's issues like reproductive freedom were overrepresented relative to other issues, this would definitely account for at least part of this difference. But "importance" itself is already a very subjective concept. It's hard to put numbers on these things and create a scoring system that's actually useful.

The opposite to conservative is progressive, not liberal
Yes. Liberal is the opposite of "moralist" and sometimes "oppressive".
The US use of the word "liberal" is a bit shifted in the direction of "libertine" (same as libertarian, but strongly focused on personal freedoms of substance abuse and sexual promiscuity at the expense of economical\political freedoms to own catgirl slaves and shoot up crowds).
Especially in Europe where liberal is more typically used for economically liberal.

The opposite is Socialism, not progressivism.
Okay boomer
Not a boomer, I'm a Communist.
Wrong
In what way? Conservativism is a branch of Liberalism, just like Progressivism. They are all under the Capitalist umbrella of Liberalism. The opposite, therefore, is Socialism.
Not sure I fully agree with your take, but that’s beside the point. They said “wrong”, now that settles it. Sorry, maybe next argument 🤷♂️
Congratulations, you have successfully redefined imprtant words in a way that makes your understanding of them fundamentally incomoatible with other people's, rendering clear communication impossible.
I don't know why this was your goal, but I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt and assuming it was intentional, because the only alternative is that you are less intelligent than a particularly dense house plant.
Never redefined any of it. Liberalism is the ideology supporting Capitalism, Progressivism is the left side of liberalism and conservativism is the right side. Progressives still support Capitalism, same with conservatives.
