re: Why do women vote more Democratic/ Left Wing

I’m a woman who doesn’t ever vote left wing.
However I can attest that this thought is the right one. Men tend to plow forward and ignore emotion as a first instinct. Women tend to go to emotion as a first instinct.
I’m a Jordan Peterson believer on this one. Neither is superior to the other. But the basic instinct towards one over the other is a male female difference.
Good personal decisions ignore neither emotion or reason, but take both into account. I see no compelling reason to use my emotions as a guide to voting. Although most Democrats do make me want to vomit.

Saying women can’t think rationally while denying it has anything to do with the right treating them as inferiors on a board that the majority thinks they shouldn’t be able to vote.
Nice.
Nice.

You already know the answer to your own question. A significant part of the answer relates to abortion rights.

Fair enough

I think it's pretty obvious why women trend left. I think it's also pretty obvious that neither men nor women should be voting on shite that impacts people other than themselves.

Women are more dependent on others as opposed to men. Dependency is part of a normal female's emotional makeup. Yeah, you have your extreme "I am woman, I don't need your help" type of females, however, like I said, a normal female appreciates a little "being taken of" philosophy in life.

Abortion, ironically most women who are die hard pro choice have no worries when it comes to unexpected pregnancies.
Replacement of the traditional father role. The Democrat Party aims to replace the traditional father. That's why they applaud single motherhood. You see, the Democrat Party feels that men are useless. So in order to provide basic necessities that people take for granted like food, light, shelter, water, and clothes, simply turn to the government instead. You are a strong, independent woman! You go girl! Rely on that government!
Basic emotional appeal. Women are emotional, and will vote with emotions. Liberals feast on that.

I had a theory that women simply prefer more government assistance on average across social classes.
But there are other reasons.

Emotion v Logic.

Women should not be voting. Neither should men, but definitely not women.

Emotion vs rationality.

and abortion alone likely sways a solid chunk
Maybe abortion from time of conception but after 20 wks like what has been floated recently I think the vast majority of all people are in favor.
There is the extreme pro abortion chunk that would never come around but they hate all GOP related policies so I don’t think abortion really is any kind of deal breaker.

Yes, they are easily moved by emotional appeals.

They can think rationally, but they react to emotion faaaar more often and let it override reason.

Because they don't have strong men in their lives.....of course they vote for the heart warming stories that offer free shite to women and "non working"
Women are weak. That s why real men exist

Women, in general, are both socially and fiscally liberal.
Anecdotally: the women I know are much less socially liberal than the men. MUCH less.

Nowhere did I exclude "right wingers."
Women are far more likely to make emotion based decisions.
