Do Republican women have Stockholm Syndrome? [View all]

[Cyrano]

Stockholm Syndrome is a condition in which hostages empathize with their captors. In documented cases, they have even aided and abetted their captors in their crimes.

The terms “hostage” and “captors” may seem like a reach to some, but I cannot understand how else any woman can vote for or be a Republican. Why would any woman who gave it just a little thought, stand by a political party that is bent on destroying all the advancements made by women in the 20th century?

I understand that some women are in it for the money, (Palin, Malkin, Coulter), but such women are figuratively in bed with the enemy. Others may be suffering from a form of battered wife syndrome.

I’m not a woman, a psychologist, or a psychiatrist, so maybe the women here on DU can give me a better explanation than those I’ve stated here.
