Men and women may have achieved equality in many areas of American life, but they sure aren't treated the same by Republican primary voters.
At least that's the finding of political scientists David C. King of
Harvard University and Richard E. Matland of the University of Houston,
who found that female candidates don't seem to do as well as similarly
qualified men in GOP primaries. On the other hand, the researchers found,
political independents and Democrats seem to prefer Republican women
running for office over GOP guys.
Let me see if I understand. Conservatives, who by definition favor traditional ways of doing things, tend to vote along the lines of the status quo, preserving male domination of political power.
And this is news? Who else is going to be conservative, if not the conservatives?
