The rise of single, educated women is a threat to right-wing parties, Cater wrote, because such women lean left, as evidenced by the US midterms. “Young women may be more ideologically drawn to the left than those older and wiser to the ways of the world, particularly those who had the dubious fortune of attending university,” he wrote, lamenting the decline of the nuclear family. Single women vote left, he surmised, not because they are more educated or because the right is often trying to take away their rights, but because they have a “vested interest in state intervention”, and they expect the government to be a replacement breadwinner, “an ever-reliable partner with deep pockets to top up their meagre income”. “Governments must address the promiscuous access to higher education,” he added, using strangely sexualised language to call for women’s access to education to be suppressed. Because apparently the solution to the Liberal Party’s well-documented “women problem” is to educate fewer of them, and marry them off to male breadwinners so they learn to vote right. Liberal deputy Sussan Ley will no doubt be hoping very few women see the piece from Cater, who, as much as we might like to dismiss as a misogynistic dinosaur, heads up the Liberal-linked Menzies Research Centre. Ley views it as her mission to win back the women who abandoned the Coalition in droves at the last election, but that mission seems to mostly involve taking part in interviews about how she is “listening” to women, while changing very little about the party at all. Ley is especially focused on wooing voters in the “teal” electorates, formerly Liberal electorates that swung behind highly educated women who ran as independents at the last election. Not unlike the women Cater would like to eliminate. Perhaps he and Ley are on a unity ticket after all. Cater is partially correct here: single women are an enormous threat to the Liberal Party. As he reports, single women under 35 – a growing demographic – are now more likely to vote Green than Liberal. But the Coalition also has a growing problem with women more broadly, with the two-party gender gap continuing to grow. It became clear at the last federal election that the women of Australia were willing to vote on gender issues, helped along by the rightful fury they felt at the way the Morrison government had treated issues of sexism and sexual assault. But rather than confront the systemic issues plaguing the party or adapt to this new reality, Cater evidently thinks it best that women stop thinking for themselves and return to the kitchen, in homes that, as he argues, they now can’t afford to acquire on their own. (There is no mention, of course, of the ways in which conservative politics has contributed to that.) There are good reasons why “single young females” are such a major threat to parties on the right. Conservative parties, as Cater so forcefully reminds us, can often be a threat to educated single women. It’s rare to see the underlying misogyny behind “family values” politics on such blatant display. But ultimately, this is what guides many of these thinkers, who would rather see “promiscuous” access to higher education reined in than confront the fact that educated women have become a powerful voting bloc. There’s no way this brand of politics is going win back the seats the Coalition needs to form government. At the end of the day, the biggest threat to the parties of the right may be men like Cater – those who are unwilling to accept that there is no electoral future for the parties of the blokes.
