Other moral issues where there are a gender differences include: "should prostitution be legalised" and "should there be tighter regulation of pornography".

Again, it seems that part of the effect is due to people's idea of what is right being influenced by their own personal role - i.e. the "different optimization processes" effect.

Gender is the most obvious source of such issues, but I'm sure you can find them in other areas of life. Race politics, for instance.
