Red states still suck for women

In 2022, of the 25 best states for women 22 of them were blue according to rankings from WalletHub. My home state of South Dakota held 51st place for the number of women who own businesses, 49th in percentage of women who voted in 2020 but tied for 1st with North Dakota for lowest unemployment among women. New Mexico was tied with Alaska for a high femicide rate, 48th for female high school graduation and nearly the highest percentage of women living in poverty. The bottom 8 states for women's well-being were red.

This year 20 of the 25 best states for women are blue but 17 of the worse states for women are red. North and South Dakota are still tied for first place in rates of employed women while New Mexico is still too high in rates of women living in poverty. South Dakota is 50th in women-owned businesses and 41st in women's health care and safety.
