Women prefer feelings over logic. Women are hardwired to prefer safety. What was before the job of the husband - providing safety - is now the job of the government. Which makes them a prime target for manipulation campaigns like "muh climate change, muh russia, covid will kill us all, etc". Punch enough fear into them and they will be more than willing to even send their own sons into the meat grinders of war - not mainly to be safe, but to feel safe.
