Part of it is that women are the socialists of our society. They are subsidized though college to go into fields like social work, teaching and nursing, which are in turn subsidized by the state. Hey, I should write a book on this.
You’re right up to a point. However, I know of many conservative women who are nurses and teachers. I can honestly say, though, that I’ve never met a conservative social worker. I don’t think I’ve even met a moderate social worker.
