    I will never understand this logic, it just obviously sounds atrocious!
    You wouldn’t say “man voters”, so why do we say “women voters”?
    It makes it sound like women aren’t the actors, rather the subjects, like people are voting for who should win Miss America or something…

      You would say Men Voters. But yes, it does sound terrible. What can I say other than the English language is just full of all kinds of Fuckery.
