To a very mild degrees, yes. If women feel themselves stuck in a society dominated by a one-dimensional, "war of the sexes" worldview, and their voting choices are similarly crap - then their less-bad option will kinda tend to look like "vote left-wing".

But (per Wikipedia) the "womens' vote" in the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election was 54:41 for Clinton:Trump. Suggesting that any worldview or analysis that tries to treat women as some sort of monolith is utterly delusional.

Or maybe the pro-war factions on each side could try to reclassify women who voted "the wrong way" as "WINO's"?

EDIT: If this is insufficiently obvious - "to a very mild degree" refers to the voting patterns of women. Vs. all the rhetoric which seems to portray women as a monolith (which is blatantly counter-factual).




> To a very mild degrees, yes.

To a degree that young women are wildly more successful than men. They practically rocketed past them in just a few decades.

Don't pretend this is "mild" success. It detracts from your own argument by making it look like you're not arguing in good faith.
