One wonders how many of them are landowners.

Which shoudn't be that surprising, this was the norm in many places until relatively recently. Women, people of color and poor people were never really meant to participate in the "democratic process" (at least as far as conservatives are concerned). The only reason why they were eventually allowed was because they fought for it and eventually, people in power got too scared not to give in a little bit until we are where we are today.

Maybe I'm too pessimistic, but to me, it's surprising that there aren't more conservatives with this view. Because the conservatives who support (basic) women's rights are essentially saying "you violent lefties were right and correct in the past for fighting what you believe was right, but whatever you are doing right now goes too far for some reason"..
