You are conflating two different issues.

Voting is always better than not voting, even when it seems as if your vote makes no difference.

Aside from that though, yes, it is bizarre when people vote for candidates who have a track record of screwing over people like them.

This isn't unique to women.

It's only bizarre from your point of view, or mine. These people are making rational decisions. Some blacks voted for Trump because they also believed in the things he espouses over some individually significant issue. Affluent male whites voted for Hillary when the left were saying Republicans only favor rich people, etc. so "voted against their self interest". People are complicated.
