Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: In this paper, we move toward an alternative explanation of the gender gap in American partisanship and public opinion; equally we attempt to dispel prevailing explanations based on women's compassion or neediness (i.e. dependence on government programs). Our arguments against the compassion and state dependency theories are empirical and methodological as well as theoretical. We argue that neither can account for variation over time and across racial groups in the gender gap. Neither has a sound account for the lack of a gender gap among African Americans in partisanship and across many political issues. In fact, while the literature has not been blind to the racial character of the gender gap (Hutchings et al. 2004, Kaufmann 2004, among others), researchers have responded to the lack of a gender gap among African Americans by focusing their empirical analyses exclusively on white Americans� attitudes. We also move toward an alternative explanation of the gender gap based on egalitarianism and political identities, and again use oft-ignored data from African American survey respondents to support our claims.
