How ‘single woke females’ are reshaping the US
New York Post ^ | January 17, 2023 | Joel Kotkin and Samuel J. Abrams

Soccer Moms are giving way to Single Woke Females — the new “SWFs” — as one of the most potent voting blocs in American politics.

Unmarried women without children have been moving toward the Democratic Party for several years, but the 2022 midterms may have been their electoral coming-out party, as they proved the chief break on the predicted Republican wave. While married men, women and unmarried men broke for the GOP, CNN exit polls found that 68% of unmarried women voted for Democrats.

The Supreme Court’s August decision overturning Roe v. Wade was certainly a special factor in the midterms, but longer-term trends show that single, childless women are joining African Americans as the Democrats’ most reliable supporters.

Their power is growing thanks to the demographic winds. The number of never-married women has grown from about 20% in 1950 to more than 30% in 2022, while the percentage of married women has declined from almost 70% in 1950 to under 50% today. Overall, the percentage of married households without children has declined from 37% in 1976 to 21% today.

A new Institute for Family Studies analysis  of 2020 Census data found that one in six women do not have children by the time they reach the end of their childbearing years, up from one in 10 in 1990. Single adult women now total some 42 million, comparable to the key African-American voting bloc (46 million), while vastly larger than key groups like labor-union members (14 million) or college students (20 million).

The Pew Research Center noted by 2019 that since 1960, single-person households in the United States have grown from 13% to 27%. Many, particularly women, are not all that keen on finding a partner.

Four amendments were passed during the "progressive era" 1900 to 1920. All of them were bad. The 16th Amendment gave the Feral Government unlimited power to tax, and therefore unlimited power to grow and oppress. The 17th Amendment neutered the States, and centralized all power in Washington. The 18th amendment ushered in an era of social engineering by government, was the first major implementation of a nanny-state, and coincidentally provided a very lucrative market for crime families like the Kennedys. The 19th amendment was the final nail in the coffin of limited suffrage, giving the vote to all especially those with no skin in the game.

The 18th was repealed; the other three should be as well.

They won't. Even so-called "conservatives" on a supposedly "conservative" discussion forum are addicted to Big Government.

Women shouldn’t be able to hold office, or serve in combat MOS fields either.

Word. NO office...even at the local level...where the trouble starts.

They don’t have constant woke propaganda beaming at them from media and school.

“longer-term trends show that single, childless women” are a self-correcting issue.

Q. Did you know that 1/3 of unmarried white women are on anti-depressants or anxiety medications?

A. OMG! That means 2/3 of them are undiagnosed! 😂

They're NEVER GONNA HAVE children either. They're too stupid, fat, ugly and WOKE to ever get married and have children.

As a result, they'll die out eventually and Democrats can go EFF themselves.

Just more reasons the government needs to subsidize women having babies out of wedlock. You’re liberal, you’re emotional, you vote left. Win win for the rats.

It’s comments like this that make half the population hate conservatives and think Republicans are neanderthals living in the Dark Ages. Perhaps you might win more women over to your beliefs if you used facts and reason rather than your hysterical call for repealing the right for women to vote. I am a conservative, and I see this comment about repealing the right for women to vote way too often. I find it outrageous, and can only imagine how young women, without much life experience, feel. And you wonder why young women don’t vote for Republicans.

Leeches, leeches who hold 67 percent of debt expecting everyone else to pay for it.

A lot of these women have been created by the deliberate feminization of education. Pedagological and teaching practices have long favored female behavior patternscwhile putting down masculine values like individual achievement and competition. As a result adolescent males tire of this and firego higher ed in favor of the dwindling supply of skilled labor and manufacturing.
The fems leave college with their degrees but without the old school MRS.degree. Unwilling to link up with a blue collar neanderthal they slowly turn into these new, as opposed to the original, SWFs. I believe, sad to say, most are not lesbian or satisfied by lesbian relations and look for ways to make the rest of us as miserable as they have become.

They are not reshaping it.

They are destroying it.
