Not sure what to make of this, but the commenter makes an interesting point:
Psychologically, and perhaps biologically, women [are] more naturally conservative/paternalistic, and would exchange the uncertainty of liberty for the peace of authority, of course, as long as they were the authority.
One might even go so far as to say that the socialistic welfare state exists mainly because of women’s suffrage. They exhibit this tendency in how they run households and how they try to control their spouses.
Hmmm.
