Generally, I've found that white males my age (Generation X) tend to be conservative and Republican voters, and sometimes their wives are too, but single females like myself are left-leaning and usually vote Democrat. I've heard chauvinistic men say that this is because we don't have men to support us (implying that we're moochers), even though we have jobs and work as hard as anybody else. Arguably the single mothers work even harder. Hell, I would think that would be all the more reason to support equal pay for women.
I myself have noticed a gender polarization among Xers. The vast majority of left-wing Xers I know are women, and most of those are unmarried (but not necessarily single) women.
As a side note, I have noticed that Xer women are far more receptive to the overtly "hippie" and New Age aspects of the Counterculture than Xer men.
