Gender bias in political elections

Reading the research that is presented on gender bias was really interesting, I knew somewhat before hand that men do tend to have a higher favorability when it comes to elections, especially here in the United States. For example, in one of the journals, Norway has a higher female political participation than the United States because women tend to have the same opportunity as men when it comes to Norwegian elections. The stereotypes started in the 1980s as well where women tended to be viewed as more liberal while the men were seen to have more conservative views on political issues. The lack of women participating in the United States could also be because of how the public perceives stereotypical gender roles as well.
