On the one hand, I agree with you that the bigger story is that white men skew Republican to a disturbingly high extent.

On the other hand...a lot of white women vote Republican too, despite the fact that women AS A GROUP are very Democratic, so in that sense, white women are a bit of an outlier.

I really think the marriage factor is huge here-probably bigger than other factors. Single white women are way more Democratic-leaning than married white women. And the latter group is overwhelming married to...white men. Hmmm....
