Absolutely, the sperm donors will vote liberal — especially the ones without jobs.

But, how do you account for the advantage the Democrats always have among women?

See my posts above. With ever increasing out-of-wedlock births and declining marriage rates, single women, many of them mothers, have for many years, and increasingly so, turned to government for the support men won't give them and many of their families can't. If it's a choice between survival for they and their children or no survival at all, they'll choose the party who promises to help provide for them and to some extent does, quite the logical choice, btw.

Without the sexual revolution and the welfare state, the disparity among male and female voting patterns would barely exist, if at all, as evidenced by the fact that far fewer married women vote for the democrats.

I’ve never given it much consideration.

But as has been pointed out, if women shouldn’t have the vote because they tend to vote liberal, there are other groups which shouldn’t have it either.

The problem is, it gets to the point of trying to control the elections and politics by controlling who votes. Just because someone doesn’t vote the way you like, doesn’t mean that you can find some sort of reason that you think is valid for taking their vote away from them.

Saying that women shouldn’t have the vote because they’re women and hence can’t think clearly, isn’t any different that saying that the blacks shouldn’t have the vote because.....whatever reason you want to come up with.

Determining someone’s right to vote based on gender is no better than determining someone’s right to vote based on skin color.

All it gets interpreted as is reinforcing the white male dominance thing.
