Idle thoughts of a relatively libertarian Republican in Cambridge, MA, and whomever he invites. Mostly political.

The assumption that a woman will be to the left of a similar man might also suggest that the bump for women would be more likely for Republicans than for Democrats in the ward committee elections. Personally, I believe that women collect more votes because of their sex than men do; in fact, I think this is true of male voters in general. (More likely than that, though, it's true of male voters who match the demographic of the kind of people I know -- more educated, predominantly white-collar. I often get the feeling that racism -- other than of the anti-white sort -- and sexism -- of the anti-woman sort -- are more pervasive in communities I don't frequent than they are in those that I do and in the media.)
