Explanation:

The Election 2012 was recorded as a historic moment for women. Their votes ensured that Barack Obama was re-elected for a second term, they voted for more women than ever before to fill positions in Congress and delivered, and the women also delivered a powerful message to conservative politicians that attempts to interfere with hard-won reproductive and other rights will not be tolerated.

The Women voted in mass, and the gender difference between the two presidential candidates could not have been more profound.

Unmarried women backed the sitting president by an incredible 38% margin over his opponent Romney, a record which was one of the key points of the results.

as university of miami psychologists debra lieberman and adam smith pointed out in a recent article in the journal current directions in psychological science, humans have social and psychological mechanisms to deter incest. with very few exceptions, marriages between brothers and sisters and between parents and their children are verboten in every human culture. the primary psychological anti-incest mechanism is the yuck response. even the idea of sex with their mom or dad, bro or sis is upsetting to most people. the psychologist jonathan haidt has found that nearly everyone is repelled by the prospect of brother-sister sex, even in hypothetical situations in which there is no chance of pregnancy).

the biological cost of incest

this raises an interesting question: just what’s so bad about incest? sure, having sex with your dad or your sister seems gross — but why? some anthropologists have argued that incest taboos are learned social conventions. this explanation, however, doesn’t make sense to me as it does not explain the widespread existence of anti-incest mechanisms in creatures ranging from cockroaches to chimpanzees. second, the incest taboo is about as close to a universal law as human moral rules get.

why should mechanisms to avoid incest be so widespread both in nature and across human societies? the answer is simple. the problem with having sex close with relatives is that there is an astonishingly high chance that your offspring will be born with a serious birth defect.
