I need to hear how others feel about this effort to motivate unmarried women to vote. Of course getting more people to vote is a good thing, and there are a lot of single women, who are single for a variety of reasons, who should vote like everyone else. Here are some polls and surveys on unmarried women.
But a lot of the resources on the Women’s Voices, Women Vote site are useful for all women and probably all voters, really. So what are the pros and cons of such an appeal and effort? Is it a distinction without a difference? Are there any ways in which it can spin that could negatively effect all women or create divides where there shouldn’t be?
Single women readers: are you saying, “Yes! Finally!” or…something else? This is a weak area for me.
Here’s their FAQ and here’s there mission statement:
Women’s Voices. Women Vote started with one goal in mind: Improving unmarried women’s participation in the electorate and policy process. We have an experienced team working to achieve this goal, and have made successful strides.
Looking forward to some comments on this approach.
