Why is you think you can figure out what half of the population thinks based on anything you post here?
If this was a study, your sample size would be laughed out of every professional journal on the face of the earth.
To be quite frank, your threads directed towards women are freighted with condescension, derision and patriarchalism from the opening post.
You do not seem to have clue one about women, and the message that you do not care about us comes through loud and clear.

I really didn't specify a political party in re women's suffrage, I said LIBERAL WOMEN. W-O-M-E-N. Today, liberal women are DEMOCRATS, and TODAY, we contribute much to making and changing laws through the political process.
If you think your "knowledge" in re Sen. Sargent and very , very limited knowledge of Susan B. Anthony in any way represents all that happened during the years of struggle during the women's suffrage movement, you are very sadly mistaken or you have an extremely limited factual knowledge base about this topic.
"The turning point came in the late 1880s and early 1890s, when the nation experienced a surge of volunteerism among middle-class women—activists in progressive causes, members of women’s clubs and professional societies, temperance advocates, and participants in local civic and charity organizations. The determination of these women to expand their sphere of activities further outside the home helped legitimate the suffrage movement and provided new momentum for the NWSA and the AWSA. By 1890, seeking to capitalize on their newfound “constituency,” the two groups united to form the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA).6 Led initially by Stanton and then by Anthony, the NAWSA began to draw on the support of women activists in organizations as diverse as the Women’s Trade Union League, the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union (WCTU), and the National Consumer’s League."
And nothing you have said or linked to proves that anyone involved in this movement would be a liberal democrat today. Nothing. Pure speculation on your part. And I really don't give a crap who did it. Just credit the correct people instead of rewriting history.
It's typical though. Todays liberals claim it was them that ended slavery, gained womens rights and passed Civil Rights legislation, when history proves the exact opposite.'
But, I wouldn't expect a liberal democrat in 2012 to worry about facts when they can just make crap up to make themselves feel better.
Are you really equating late 19th/early 20th century Republicans with those of the early 21st century? Tea Partiers and RWNJs steer the R's party policies these days, and they don't in any way, shape, or form resemble Susan B. Anthony or Aaron Sargent.
So much for the lie that today's Republican Party is the same as the party of Susan B. Anthony and Aaron Sargent.
Who said they were the same party?
Democrats aren't the same party either.
Someone posted on here that it was liberal democrats that led the way for women's sufferage.
I was pointing out that the people leading this effort were Republicans.
Sorry, I will never use a FACT to ruins someone delusions again.
