We always hear from feminist circles about how women hardly have any power in the US; and about how it's men making laws regarding women. Yet in all these arguments, they fail to mention that women make up a larger portion of the electorate than men. In the US population that is 18+, women make up 52% of the population. In every state and every congressional district, adult women outnumber adult men. This means that if women wanted, they could easily make every US Senator, every US Congressperson, and every future President and Vice President a woman for the rest of history.

Furthermore, when women do run for office, they have a higher success rate than men running for office. For example, in the 2020 US Congressional elections, many more women who ran for office were elected compared to all men who ran for office. This shows that there are more men in power, simply because many more men run for elected office compared to women. If an equal number of women chose to run for office, there would likely be more female politicians than male politicians.

And it's not as if there is a lack of qualified women. 65% of people graduating with college degrees today are women. Female college graduates have outnumbered men for decades, and the gap is only widening. So the result of most US politicians being male is simply caused by a large number of women choosing to vote for the male candidates, and by qualified women choosing not to run for public office. Not because of the 'Men hate women, and don't want women to get in power' narrative.
