    How many women voted while accompanied by their husband though. I feel like a lot of them could have voted no under pressure

      In my experience a lot of women (especially in patriarchal societies) support the idea of gender roles. And they are more than willing to apply violence to keep dissenting women (and men) in line.

      Being against own interests is an old human quirk.

      Do you really look at the world today and have a hard time believing people would willingly vote against their interests?

      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?
