Your supposed logic repels me. The consistent confusion that the class controls the individual depresses me. Even more depressing is the false assumptions you spread.

Despite evidence that women voters have a slight preference for the Democratic Party, Republicans have won more of women's votes in three of the last four presidential elections (Reagan twice and Bush once).

And therein lies the problem; your posture comes from how you WANT reality to be, not from reality itself.

The consistent confusion that the class controls the individual depresses me.

Is your consistent confusion of “class” with “identity” (in the a=a, logic sense) any better? If so, how?

Furthermore, that you would quote a prospect.org article, and “cherrypick” one line out of an entire article ABOUT THE GENDER GAP to maintain the validity of your worldview only shows the depths to which you’ll go to preserve that worldview.

Over the last nine presidential elections, however, women have consistently voted for Democratic presidential candidates at higher rates than men.

I just asked a question, you inserted your opinion as to my motive. I actually had not looked for info.

Not as false you would think. Below is from this Article.

In the 1972 and 1976 elections, there was no difference in candidate support between men and women. Over the last nine presidential elections, however, women have consistently voted for Democratic presidential candidates at higher rates than men. Most recently, in 2012, there was a 10-percentage-point gender gap: 55% of women voted for Democrat Barack Obama over Republican Mitt Romney, compared with 45% of men. The gap in 2012 was little different than it had been in Ronald Reagan’s victory over Jimmy Carter in 1980, when 45% of women and just 36% of men voted for Carter. The size of the gender gap has fluctuated within a relatively narrow range over the past 36 years; on average, women have been 8 percentage points more likely than men to back the Democratic candidate in elections since 1980.
