Ségolène Royal lost the second round of elections last Sunday May 6th in France, as you probably know.

What you may not have known is that her support from the female voting population was supposedly lower than that of the male voters. In other words, other women weren't convinced that she would be a good president.

I leave the statement here, but retract it as depending on things we can't know about. If they didn't support her, we will never know the reasoning, so it can't be significant. Bad logic, mea culpa.
