Right back at you, as far as logic.

But I’m not so sure I agree with your point about men and women.

Men can be emotional, sure. But I think they are less emotional than women. I think there has been research to show that men tend to be dispassionate problem solvers while women think about feelings and relationships.

Plus, I don’t think men are as likely to be looking for someone to take care of them.

The problem is conflating emotionalism and logic with morals and political positions.

Less emotional doesn't by default mean more conservative. The liberal/conservative issue is one of morals and values, not mental, psychological, or emotional make up.

That's why the whole issue of blaming women for the mess the country is in because they are more emotional voters, doesn't work.

I'd take an emotional conservative over a unemotional liberal any day. ( I was going to say logical liberal, but realized that that would be an oxymoron...)
