While "(t)he grail of female franchise yielded little meaningful progress in the years to follow", the decades since show real evidence of women's voting and governing - any casual reasearcher who ain't a fool can easily see how the female vote has turned almost every representative government in the Northern hemisphere into an tax-bloated mommy-nanniocracy.

The woman's vote equals big government, because female voters are milksop, security-blanket voters. No two ways about it. As Harry Stein wrote in City Journal today, "Lots of liberal women politicians call themselves strong and independent—and spend their careers relentlessly working for programs that increase people’s dependence on government."

Not all women are “security-blanket” voters. Just look around here at FR.

Maybe with a woman on the ticket, a strong, accomplished woman who is not riding her husband’s coattails, more women will see that there are opportunities for them and feel less of a need to vote for the man who will give them the biggest handout.
