[Mr Rogers]

Perhaps refers to the idea that women favor big government. Based on recent elections, UNMARRIED women want security and try to find it in government, while married women want their husbands to be free enough to provide it for them and their families.

I think a lot of single women vote for "Mr Government" without realizing why they are doing it. If they marry, then they quickly decide freedom (so their family can prosper) is more important. If they divorce, I suspect many go right back to relying on Mr Government.

Indeed. One could make a credible case for them going back to Mr Government for "hired muscle" *during* the divorce.
