I mean you also see conservatives vote for people like Boebert and MTG. Misogynists, surprisingly, will reliably prioritize their other ideals over whether to put a woman in power.

Interesting point. I do think there's a sort of power dynamic at play there. They see the way they campaign against women's rights and label them as one of the "good ones" that will show women that they can have higher positions in society if they submit. Maybe, hopefully, my assessment is off base.
