The gender gap affect political parties because (B.) men are more likely to vote Republicans and women are more likely to vote Democrats.

While men have supported the Republican Party for a long time, it has been proved that more women have been voting for the Democrats since 1992. The reason why more women have been favouring the Democratic Party lately is because, in the last years, Republicans have withdrawn financial support from programs such as Planned Parenthood and they have not enforced anti-discrimination laws nor laws related to equal opportunity. In the presidential elections of 2016, Hillary Clinton's gender gap hit 13%.
