I can think of only a couple of women
that post to the poli-board.
Listening to rush, hannity, and levin most callers are men.
Yet the msm claim that women have all this political power and they have been fawning over all the dem women (not republican) that were elected this month.
They think they will change this country for the better. I doubt it.

Women care about politics only as much as it affects their children. Aside from that they couldn’t care less.

Generally people that work more tend to care more about politics. Except your local flaming SJW that demands $15 an hour for working cashier at Long John Silvers

Just because women aren't as active on the political board of a sports forum or don't call into angry white man talk radio doesn't mean they don't follow politics. You have what's called a sampling bias.

The ones I know who are into politics are crazy about it. However they're usually SJWs and insane.

Women in general believe that Feminists are man repellant and don’t want to be associated with them. They care about politics but aren’t vocal about them.

Feminists are vocal about their politics because they are mad at the world and blame men for it. Politics is a way for them to take out their aggression on men.

But I agree with GeauxTigers above, they get vocal about politics when it messes with their kids. Then. All bets are off.

Don't judge female interest in politics by their numbers on poli boards. Women receive messages into their brains differently from men. This causes them to be hypersensitive to disagreement.

I learned this when I was coaching girls softball. If I said 'Suzee, you need to stay in front of the grounder to knock it down.' She heard: 'Suzee, you're fat, ugly and have no friends.'
So, she quit.

On a poli-board if Suzee says 'I like the Southern Poverty Law Center.' And Zach says 'Suzee, it's a bogus money making left wing scam.' She hears: 'Suzee, you're fat, ugly and have no friends.'
So, she quits and goes to the OT Lounge.

I think it has dramatically increased with the progressives’ constant attacks on Trump accusing him of being a sexist and all. It’s a narrative based on lies which has clearly worked to activate a base who isn’t normally politically active.

This s a very dangerous trend. It will continue until the GOP starts doing the same thing back to them.

I am a woman and I am passionately interested in politics and political history. I don't post much here but I read the board daily. I listen to conservative talk radio everyday and I read about 10 news websites per day, as well as many actual books about political topics/events.

Outside of church? I'd say no.

Or, I'd say they are far more likely to be a single-issue voter.

Hell, my mom still calls me every election and ask how she should vote. She's smart and well educated, but she doesn't really follow politics and would rather defer to my opinion... she used to just listen to dad, but he passed away a decade ago.

My in-laws are the same way.

I do not believe most care.

Of all the girls I know pretty well, I cannot think of more than one who is into politics and she’s a disgusting feminist. A handful have no clue what is going on but vote liberal because their celebrity idols tell them to. The rest probably couldn’t tell you who our VP is right now.

That’s not a shot at women, I just find they don’t give a shite.

I know my wife pretty much votes as i do because i’m her source of information, if she votes at all and my voting age daughter has zero i nterest in politics and has no intention of ever voting so my small sampling says most dont care.

Women care about what other women think about them. If the group of women they belong to or want to belong to cares about politics, then they will care about politics.

The ones I encounter in real life seem to care only about the social issues of politics.

I don't think I've ever heard discussion of economics or foreign policy amongst women.

I’m female and am certain there are many drain the swamp MAGA Trump supporting women. Every one of them reads and watches, but never posts. Whether it’s Pol Talk they read or twitter or whether they listen to Rush and Levin. They don’t post and they don’t call in. I listen to rush, hannity, levin, and Michael berry and AFR radio and never call in. I post here and on twitter. I have never been into Facebook. I think it’s bizarre. Many many many listen to Rush and Hannity

I know my wife only cares enough to ask me who she’s supposed to vote for. Then she randomly tries to start up political conversations with me about what latest political rumor she’s heard and I just have to look at her like she’s crazy.

They care about fitting in and being accepted socially. They are also easy to bully. That’s why they are much more likely to court the favor of liberal opinion and of Hollywood celebrities. This is also why they shouldn’t be politicians or pastors.

My wife certainly doesn't. One of our big differences. I follow the politics of our country daily.

I read the poli board several times daily but post very little and I am a 70 YO female ( no pics).

I don't put political signs on my car since I want it to last with no damage from any dem/socialist/ communist filth.

I also follow a lot of other conservative sites.

Anyway, just because we post very little doesn't mean we are not here and very interested.

eta, I listen to Rush, Hannity and Levin every day.

Most dont and a lot of people dont in general. They care about winning and they want the side they pick to win. Doesnt matter the consequences.

The majority of the people voting now dont even know what the hell they are voting for. They are just voting for "their side" to win
