Can We Really Expect Moral Agency In Women? - Realistic Or Unrealistic Expectation?

Many in the manosphere and specifically Stefan Molyneux stress the importance of moral agency in shaping our society. I believe most men understand this concept and generally adhere to it. However, my life experience has taught me that moral agency in women tends to be applied far more haphazardly by them. Basically, they often let emotions and feelings guide their decisions rather than apply moral agency.
Molyneux believes that through sound logic and reasoned arguments that he will be able to convince women that his perspective on saving Western Civilization, traditional gender roles, marriage, children, etc. is correct and the should then also apply this moral agency to their lives.
My question is whether this is a realistic or unrealistic expectation in women? I have my doubts about this becoming a reality. Because I see more women breaking away from traditional roles and opting for independent careers and a separation from the influence of men and by default their influence with such arguments.
But I do recognize that perhaps there are signs of some influence as evidenced in the US Presidential election where a large number of white women voted for Donald Trump. A candidate that at least on the surface supported many of these kinds of values. So again, what are your thoughts on this subject? What does your gut and life experience tell you about the direction of these things?
