The economist John Lott, Jr. wrote an (in)famous paper arguing that the welfare state may have grown to its gigantic proportions because of female votes. I imagine that female privilege is due to the right to vote, too (although there are many male voters who support female privilege). Personally, I haven’t voted since 2000 because I learned that my vote doesn’t count. Also, democracy will always devolve to oligarchy, as Robert Michels explained in his 1911 book, _Political Parties_. That means feminist activists will have a greater say among policymakers and politicians who share their ideology. This is why we have Wokeism (see Richard Hanania’s new book on the statist origins of woke).
