"Similar"

The headline finding: more Republican young men blame women for their problems than Democratic young men. Among Republican young men, it's 26%; for Democratic young men, 6%.

Footnote "similar" finding: young Democratic women blame men for their problems at a rate of 66%. The smallest percentage of Democratic women blaming men for their problems is 47% (age 50-64); the smallest percentage among Republican women is 16% (65 and older).
Young women are unique in their perceptions of gender discrimination in American society. More than two-thirds of young women believe that women face “a lot” of discrimination in American society. Fewer—though still a majority—of young men and older women share this view.  

There is a sharp political divide as well. Democratic women are far more likely than Republican women to believe women face considerable prejudice in the United States. But it is not only in the existence of discrimination that Democratic and Republican women are at odds. Democratic women are far more likely than Republican women to say that men are responsible for many of the problems women have in American society.  

These are perceptions; one argument for the delta in perceptions is that men really are more responsible for women's' problems than vice-versa. The partisan split would remain interesting even if that were true.
