I think not. These 600 are a mere sampling of the millions upon millions who see the same thing, but dare not say it either publicly or privately.

Some women might call it the Yes, dear movement. You can see how this works.

...

Husband: Of course you're going to vote straight Republican tomorrow!

Wife: Yes, dear.

... Or...

Husband: The Bible says that as Jesus is the head of the church, man is the head of the family.

Wife: Yes, dear.

...

But when the woman sees the screwy bullshit, she strides into the voting booth and pulls the Democratic straight ticket lever and thinks to herself, Oh dear! No dear!
