Dependence? It’s mostly because women have repeatedly repeated to vote to depend upon government.
“Academics have for some time pondered why the government started growing precisely when it did. The federal government, aside from periods of wartime, consumed about 2 to 3 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) up until World War I. That was the first war in which government spending didn’t go all the way back down to its pre-war levels. Then in the 1920s, non-military federal spending began steadily climbing.
President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s New Deal — often viewed as the genesis of big government — really just continued an earlier trend. What changed before Roosevelt came to power that explains the growth of government? The answer is women’s suffrage.
For decades, polls have shown that women as a group vote differently than men. Without the women’s vote, Republicans would have swept every presidential race but one between 1968 and 2004.
The gender gap exists on various issues. The major one is the issue of smaller government and lower taxes, which is a much higher priority for men than for women. This is seen in divergent attitudes held by men and women on many separate issues.
Women were much more opposed to the 1996 federal welfare reforms, which mandated time limits for receiving welfare and imposed some work requirements on welfare recipients. Women are also more supportive of Medicare, Social Security and educational expenditures.
Studies show that women are generally more risk-averse than men. This could be why they are more supportive of government programs to ensure against certain risks in life.”

I love the ZO!
Intersting but what is your recommended solution?
My recommended solution to the gross growth of government that women’s sufferage gives us? I have none. I believe there is none. Liberality, generosity, fairness, equality, and democracy all force us to sleep in the bed that women are collectiveistly making for us. Women’s votes will empower the Democrat Socialists in making us all into federal teat-suckers, eventually. And after a few(?) generations, and many, many ruined and wasted lives, a man, or a few men, will, like Luther on the cathedral steps, realize truth, and stand up, and revolt.
Zo knows! ;-)
