Even more depressing is the false assumptions you spread.

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.

I am sorry that I assumed you had an agenda. That kind of mistake is easy in posts because the cues we use in hearing people talk or watching their faces are absent.

I have had woman bashing from Central_va before with many interchanges and I just saw red for a little while. I hold no brief for all women or all men, no feminist drivel either. I do think that it is wrong to generalize because there are stellar, guys, stellar girls and lots of the other. When people say women should not have the vote I do get incensed. I believe voters should own property and pass a civics exam before their first vote however race, creed, ethic origin, gender are irrelevant in deciding if a particular individual is an upright, clear thinking responsible citizen.

So again mea culpa. I saw what I was primed to see which was my mistake.
