This is an illustration of why it was a fatal mistake for the Republic to ratify the 19yh Amendment. My wife argued this at me for years before I came to understand it. Women (on average, generally- certainly not all) desire security and a living from men or from their surrogate i.e. government for themselves and for their children. That is not compatible with a free society and a Republic.

Women are always a majority of the population and there are more sympathizers among men than there are freedom oriented ladies. That women's attitude feminizes the nation.

Ultimately a feminine culture will be subsumed by a rising masculine culture. There are two very powerful very masculine cultures in the world, both moving rapidly toward supremacy, Islam and China. Both have overabundance of males, China because it kills many of its girl children, Islam because it enslaves them. In China women have little influence on the direction of the polity; in Moslem cultures women have NO influence thereon. Ultimately a masculine culture will prevail.

With more than one such that is a certain recipe for a titanic struggle between Islam and China when the now dominant feminine culture is laid low.
