content: Another things to ponder about:  When women got a right to vote, identity politics were born. Now politicians could stand out from the rest by pandering to women. Your stance on policies doesn't even matter, as long as you're a "supporter of women". They will vote for you based on that alone. Often overlooked factor of attractiveness. Most politicians are male and when only men could vote, this wasn't an issue. Now even a substitute drama teacher and a part-time ski instructor like Trudeau can become PM based on his good looks alone. Even my grandma used to swoon about some politician.  Women always vote for more welfare. And once instituted, welfare is almost impossible to repeal because now someone's livelihood depends on it. Welfare keeps increasing until the system collapses.
