Men are conditioned to excel at mindlessly following orders. That’s why they send them to war. And a childhood filled with sports and getting yelled at by a coach is great psychological conditioning for following orders. Very few men can lead. Lots of men can follow orders to sacrifice themselves.
Women are more accustomed to speaking up and exercising individual agency because they are traditionally the victims of male violence. They have a keener sense of danger than men, can sense when a person or situation is potentially escalating to violence, and more willing to take proactive steps or voice concern in order to avoid or hear-off a violent situation.
In short, women can acutely discern that Trump and Republicans are escalating toward a violent crescendo. Men are more willing to excuse it or say “fake news!” because they lack the basic self-preservation instincts of women. This is why women are more likely to stand up to Trump - they are hardwired to warn others and try to find an off-ramp.
