    I read somewhere that many women will vote how their husbands and families vote, even if it’s bad for themselves.

      When I first becoming politically aware, I was utterly shocked by people, intelligent in some ways, saying they vote Republican because their family is Republican. Like they were voting for the Dodgers.

      True of many things, probably. Peer pressure is as bad as brainwashing, or maybe a form of it.
