Actualy, if you open the link, you will see that women outnumbered the men in the election (2507 to 2228). Out of the women who voted, 50.5% voted to for, so it was pretty split. Men were closer to 40/60 for/against, leading to the loss.

In short, if only women voted for, and all men against, women would’ve won.
