Regarding why there are so many more heterodox men than women, not just among Blacks, is part of a broader sex divide that's been growing. I suspect it's a mix between delayed/absent marriage, as marriage tends to make women more conservative, more education achievement among women, and some downstream effects of birth control which has been mainstream for four generations now. We're moving away from the bourgeois family structure, seen both in the broken homes and dysfunctions of the American poor first seen among Blacks but increasingly seen among Whites and Latinos, and the childless homes of the middle and upper classes. Even when middle and up have kids it's later in life, maybe to a 50 year old dad and a 40 year old mom, and while I don't have a clear argument for why this would contribute to greater sex political polarization I feel like it does.
