So the NY Post is a credible source to cite now?

The paper it links to is.

Also the % difference between men and women refusing to wear masks is close to the gender gap in Republican vs. Democrat voting percentages.

Are you referring to the 51-48 split the NY Post article mentions? Because that's just the demographic breakdown of the sample population, not the results. That said, reading the actual article, my last stats class happened too long ago for me to readily figure out what the exact numbers are, since they're using regressions in some capacity and not just giving nice, simple percentages. The bar graphs and numbers used certainly make it look like there are significant differences, but I can't quantify just how significant.

So it seems to me more likely that it's just a reflection of Trumpers' refusing to wear them because dear leader said so, regardless of gender (there just happen to be more men who are Trump supporters)

The sample population used was predominantly left-leaning (50% left, 21% centre, 29% right), so I don't think that explains it.
