I went to check the US representation of females in Gvt and was surprised at how low it was. 13,8% of “parlament” (that would be Senate + Congress I assume). For some reason I thought it would be more.
A funny anomaly was that the top 5 countries are the 5 countries making up Scandinavia:
I wonder why Scandinavian countries are so much more feminist.
Haven’t you ever heard of swedish films?
Nope.
White men didnt get the vote until 1789, and only a few of them got it back then, only the richer white men who owned property, and who were not on welfare, etc.
It wasnt until the 1820’s-1830’s that most white men finally got the vote, and when they did get it, they quickly started giving the vote to women and blacks.
Women started getting the vote shortly after that, shortly after asking for it in 1850, they started getting the right to vote in the 1850’s in the western states, and black men started getting the vote after the civil war.
There was only a very very short time in our history when only most men had the vote, and most women did not have it(middle 1800’s).
Furthermore, there is not much difference at all in how males and females vote. Most women vote exactly the same as men, if you look at each specific demographic group. Old white men pretty much vote for the same candidate as old white women, asian men vote the same as asian women, etc.
The overall aggregate differences showing a slight difference of all men differing from all women, is biased because of how blacks vote over 90% democrat, and the black vote both so disproportionate female and democrat. Since most black voters are women, it shifts the aggregate total voting patterns when summing all the votes by sex. Yet, black men(90% democrat) dont vote any different than black women - there just are so many more black women that vote 90% democrat. When you subtract all black voters from totals, remaining males and females vote nearly identical in remaining aggregate totals.
