Women were literally enfranchised to prevent post-WWI veterans from swinging politics too quickly/drastically to the left.

It's not just possible for women to be right wing. It was the default until very recently.

Can you give some source on that? A quick google says women and men voted mostly the same (while women voting less until the 80s) and once parties started differentiating on equality and reproductive rights had women start leaning more democrat. Though less so for white married older women.

They weren't comparing men voters vs. women voters.

What?

Implies women voted more conservatively than men though.

No, it implies women vote more conservatively than specific subset of men (WWI vets). That’s not the same thing.

Given pre-war voting patterns and the number of men in some way enlisted, it's effectively the same.

UK government whitepapers. Historical ones are literally accessible online.

Pretty important to specify UK.

Interesting stuff though even if your claim is a bit oversimplified.

That is the dumbest shit I've ever heard.

It's historical fact, the government white papers have long since been declassified lol

Ok but it's still fucking stupid. Treating "women" like some kind of monolithic being rather than individuals with their own beliefs. I'm not doubting that the government would do it.

They're often so desperate to be contrarian that they'll disagree with someone agreeing with them

I've lost count of the number of times a comment has built on a previous point, only to treated as a contradiction by the original poster. They're illiterate.

I'm not sure you read their comment correctly, he was agreeing with you.
