I've had the same conversation several times with conservative women. I point out that no, you yourself are not nuts, but most women are fucking crazy (they strongly agree) and that as a conservative woman paradoxically taking away their right to vote would result in their preferred policy winning across the board. Nobody has yet to come up with a decent argument against this.
Women biologically just tend to put their emotions before rational thought. It's what helps them do their natural role of being nurturing, caring, and keeping social ties together a lot better than men (as much as feminism tries to push these things aside). However, this rolls over into our government, where women will often vote on emotion or for leftists social issues rather than for things that truly matter in the grand scheme of our world and country. At least in many instances, if a woman's husband is more informed politically, she'll vote with him or take up his positions. However, single women is a completely different story.
I'm a female Trump voter. Suburban mom, former soccer mom, former corporate executive and current small business owner. I've been politically tuned in since I was in grade school watching Watergate hearings in the living room with my Mom. I went to a women's college - steeped in women's studies and followed the Iran-Contra hearings while Walter Mondale & Geraldine Ferraro came to our campus and convinced all of us that voting Democrat was our future. Which is what I did until the last term of President Clinton where I was fed up with the absolute abuse of his office and the circus around his investigation.
I absolutely agree about the emotional side of why women vote the way we do. But men also vote with emotion too - they are just emotional and pumped up about different things. With conservative men, it centers around how invasive is government on his own domain - i.e. gun rights, taxes, infringement on religious beliefs, or conforming to laws that may inhibit his personal freedoms or job prospects. With conservative women, it centers around education for children, maintaining a secure environment for family. If Trump can convince the 'squishes' that he has these in his sights he can win over more suburban moms. Trust me, suburban moms are some of the best influencers in our political landscape today!

that's where a major issue comes into play with that large voting block of women who are unmarried and have no children. Of course, if I had my way, the voting age would be 25 and that wouldn't be as big of an issue.
Truth. Single motherhood is a bane on the rest of American culture. Obviously many times it can't be avoided - but lessening the likelihood helps everyone.
"unmarried and have no children" are dying out since the 90s. These people never reproduced and were told in collage that they should not have any kids because that will kill the planet or something like that. Now colleges see 10% drop in attendance because they the people who suppose provide the next generation of students are not having any kids. Conservatives already out number liberals and it will get a lot worse over the next 10 to 15 years. Why do you think they are all going crazy. They thought that they will take over the world just to find out that they actually are disappearing.
Came here to say this, women voters, muh feelz is literally the only thing that they understand. Even R women can be manipulated with this. mass shootings, terrorism, rapists, these things keep them up at night and anyone claiming to go hard on non-existent threats makes them feel cushy.

That's why we need to go back to property owners, and 1 vote per household.

Thank you for your insight.
You aren't wrong.
The emasculating of men and the hyper emotionalizing of women voters is intentional.
Hate and fear reduce your ability to think.
They know that.

Yeaaaah. I love voting, I love the absurdity of political theater, but... Let's just leave it that I wouldn't be a suffragette.
