Misogyny becomes so normalized and institutionalized in a culture that even women sometimes do things and vote against their own best interests. It wouldn’t surprise me if there were a surprisingly high number of women who voted no.

Case in point, how many Christian conservative women vote against a women’s right to chose whether to carry a child to full term?
