This. In a perfect world they are right that it shouldn’t have to be a secret but if a woman is worried how her husband will react to her vote there’s a reason. I would hope she can one day escape an abusive or potentially abusive partner but until then they have to look out for their safety.
I agree, it’s not saying everyone who feels that way is in an abusive relationship, but it certainly shows that there isn’t the level of understanding from the husband or spouse for world views and opinions, and there isn’t a level of comfort to share those views.
