Women Voters

I suppose it would be taking the latest Coulter book a bit too seriously if I pointed out that women’s suffrage in virtually every Western country was initially quite favourable to parties of the center-right and helpful for conservative politics generally.  This came as something of a surprise to some of the progressives who had pushed for women’s suffrage, evidently failing to notice that there were a great many women who actually held views that put them on the right.  Even today, the GOP, which I suppose still has to count as our center-right party, typically wins among married women and loses among unmarried women.  The reasons for this really should be plain already, and I have already spent too much time on this.
