The bigger question is, are women more susceptable to communism than men?

Not sure about communism, but IMO, women probably are more tolerant of a socialistic society...in the classic meaning....not the political meaning.
I think that communism as a economic doctrine has proven to be a failure. And thank goodness for that!
What is the difference between classic socialism and political socialism?
Right. Women tend to be risk-averse, and want stability and a guaranteed minimum standard of living more than they want the chance to win big (with the risk of losing big).
For example, offer some men and women the following scenario: "You have the option of flipping a coin. If it comes up heads, you win $100 million dollars. If it comes up tails, you will immediately be killed. Or you can walk away and not flip the coin". A lot of men will flip the coin. Hardly any women will.
