I'm not sure this is accurate. A quick search shows several sources saying more women than men have voted for decades. Here's data from the US Census bureau stating that more women were registered to vote than men, and more women voted in the 2004 election than men:

Thanks Cloud, now we know who to blame Bush on.

The other day I stopped at a Dairy Queen for the first time in probably 10 years. As I was ordering, a woman walked up to the window so after I paid, I stepped aside for her to order while I was waiting.
She came up short on the money, mumbling "I'll have to come back", while digging through her purse, wallet and coin purse, obviously frustrated and embarrassed. I asked how much she needed and the cashier answered, so I handed her a buck. A buck is not a big deal, I've done it dozens of times for men and women...end of story.

Except this time was the first I remember, that I hesitated for a second wondering if I was going to get the 'independent woman' tirade. Not really afraid of it, just weary.
Little old ladies at the supermarket are great, priceless smile.
