I think the weight of the female vote has a greater impact than the natural shift towards conservativism.

If it were as simple as "today's Democrats are tomorrow's Republicans", we would be seeing a steady and gradual increase in people supporting the right/Republicans that matches the steady and gradual aging of populations.

The women I know are perfect voters for the left: they worry about feelings instead of facts, they tend to be less affluent (less to lose when voting for giveaway programs), they seem more trusting of authority, they exhibit cognitive dissonance (if ACAB, why do you only want cops to have guns?). The government standing in for their husband, and every whiny special interest group standing in for their children, pretty much explains their voting habits.
