I guess I didn’t get that from what you said. You’re saying they vote that way because they are more apt to trade freedom for security. I don’t think that’s the primary reason why. I think it’s more because they view it as a matter of compassion rather than security. I don’t think they see that even though they may feel more secure, I don’t think they feel they are less free. I think many feel that when they feel more secure, they are more free (even though we guys would know they are less free because they are now more dependent on government).
The only reason I say that is because I know that women look at the decisions they’d make and justify it because ‘people need help’, etc. - but generally I haven’t heard them justify something because ‘I’ll give up this/my freedom for security’.

and I agree with that, especially that last sentence.
I do believe that's how they see this security/freedom arrangement, which is why I summed it up with "this is why they are so dangerous as voters/leaders".
they've willingly locked themselves into a cage that they can't see (until it's too late) and call themselves free.
And, as you can see upthread, some even mock those who point out the bars.
