Re: Are "Suburban American Women" Conservative or Liberal Voters?
That's only because conservatives are more likely to vote, and so are older people (older women are more likely to be married than younger ones of course).
In point of fact,
even married women lean liberal, which somewhat upends this patronizing idea that women supposedly seek a daddy figure in their lives as though they were permanently children unable to care for themselves
"Daddy"? I don't know. Certainly "Security".
Women remain liberal even after getting married
Their voting patterns do not match this
when they supposedly already have a "daddy" in the form of a husband. In fact, it's their husbands who change from Democrat to Republican-leaning, not them.
:shrug: this is simply mathematically untrue. Young, unmarried women tend to vote Democrat (as you point out). Married, usually slightly older women tend to vote Republican. And have done so every Presidential election with a single exception since 1980.
Yours is an especially ridiculous assertion in context of the fact that younger women these days are both generally better educated and better employed than their male peers, by virtue of choosing to prioritize their own security (or just their own interests in life).
Women in our younger generation are generally better educated and better employed not least because our education system is broadly set up to reward behaviors females are more skilled in (such as, for example, the ability of 9 year olds to sit still and concentrate for 30-45 minutes at a time) and because adolescent males increasingly lack forced maturation.
Women don't need a daddy.
Wrong. Everyone needs a dad. Women no less than men.
They just tend not to vote for the party that thinks they "rape easy" and the party that is constantly fighting against their right to have medical care and choose their own future.
This is incorrect on several fronts.
1. Republicans don't think women "rape easy" - quite the contrary, this is more broadly the implicit assumption of the Democrat Party, which is far more likely to exaggerate things like sexual assault statistics. Anecdotes do not a statistic defeat. Furthermore, it is Republicans who attempt to make women rape more harder, by pushing to enable them to defend themselves against typically larger, stronger men through the lawful use of weaponry, and by not punishing them for being unwilling to try (and possibly fail) to run away. Take a look to see who's behind legal firearm restrictions and "duty to retreat" laws. You won't find Republicans taking the guns out of women and enabling rapists. You'll find Democrats.
2. Women are actually more likely to want to limit abortion than men.
3. "Women's medical decisions" are not defined as "Abortion", however, much the left appears to have fallen into that fallacy. In fact, when it comes to
actual healthcare choices, it is the Republicans who push for introducing greater choice into the system and having health insurance and health care directed by patients (slightly more than half of whom are women). It is Democrats who want to increasingly centralize those decisions in male-dominated institutions such as Congress.
Who could blame us? It's not exactly hard to see why the Republican party struggles to court women, especially younger women with better self-esteem and fewer self-effacing sexist beliefs.
The Republican Party doesn't struggle with women, it struggles with unmarried women, because they have lower risk tolerance and therefore more highly value strong public support structures. The Republican Party consistently wins married women.
