Men created a system that was to their advantage -- easy divorce, birth control and abortion so that pregnancy wouldn't lead to forced marriages, welfare to deal with abandoned children.

Women resisted that at first. They tended to vote Republican more than men did. They were considered more conservative than men in mid-20th century America. They tended to support religion, marriage, and family more than men did.

Eventually they learned how to use the system to what they thought to be their own advantage and became major supporters. That is pretty standard politics under democratic rule.

There are people who are always looking for some group to blame the current state of things on. Maybe the place to start is by looking in the mirror, as it's usually people not so very different from oneself who had a hand in how things turned out.

Is that "impersonal" enough?

Wow, what a crock.

You just described how the electorate becoming female changed the issues and the focus of both parties and of American politics, and then said that the men brought in that sudden change into something that had never existed rather than the women, just reversing reality doesn’t work.
