Here’s an interesting thing to noodle. Conservative gender bias among pro-Miers conservatives. My email — not a scientific measure of anything, of course — seems to indicate an interesting split. I would say Miers supporters are decidedly more female.
Now, obviously, there are many men who support Miers too. Hugh Hewitt is a man — all man, as they say. But even among pro-Miers emailers, there seems to be a gender split. The first principle among the womenfolk is to trust Bush above all. The menfolk are more inclined to beat-up on the elitist angle. Again, this is more an impression than a real accounting. But I think it’s interesting.
During the Clinton impeachment, I noticed something somewhat similar. My hatemail from women tended to be very different than my hatemail from men. The difference, at the time, seemed at least partly attributable to the fact that women seemed smitten by Clinton while the men just wanted to fight.
