    One of my conservative friends (also a woman) said the same thing: women shouldn’t be in power. Stunlocked me for a second.

      That’s why conservative women exist. There’s a known phenomenon where the victims of abuse are often the most vociferous defenders of their abusers.

      Culturally you see this in things like the defenders of hazing but there’s plenty of science on the topic to back up the observation.

      The thing about that, however, is those votes aren’t something you were going to win, ever, and it’s not something you should chase.
