If you have some time, could you explain why men are not expected to vote for women? Do they not have a stake in issues around, for example, child care?

It's well documented that in countries where women make up a minimum of 30% of the elected officials, issues like family support and child care get a lot more attention in national politics, so I would think, being that men have a stake in such things, they'd be eager to vote for women as well.

I don't need an answer right away - I'm far away and should be going to sleep three hours ago anyway. But I'm always curious as to why the answer is "women should vote for women more often!" and not "men should vote for women more often", and I was hoping you'd be able to explain it to me.
