Bill,
You asked why a 32--year-old single woman will vote Democrat, while a married woman of the same age will vote Republican.
Part of a feminine emotion is a desire to be taken care of.
A married woman emotionally depends upon her husband for her emotional stability. This leaves her free for a more objective look at her family and society in general. The Republican platform more closely matches her desires.
A single woman does not have a male figure on which to depend. Therefore, she is attracted to a government bureaucracy, which can give her the stability she needs. Couple that with the father image of the President, and she is emotionally a strong Democrat.

ReplyDeleteVery perceptive--let's get all those single women married off!
Difficult to do.
ReplyDeleteThe mores of the younger people have changed.
Young women have found sex without penalty. Birth control devices are easily available from the government, as is abortion for those cases of extreme negligence. Motherhood satisfaction can also be realized without the necessity of a husband, through government support, and as I mentioned earlier emotional stability through the father image of the President. Operating in this manner, young women can also achieve a feeling of independence and pursue career development if they so choose.
Young men have not been properly trained by their parents to develop a sense of parental responsibility. Young men have always enjoyed irresponsible sex, but were previously unable to fulfill it. Now, there are plenty of young women with free offering.
