I am not trying to be inflammatory, but are you suggesting that women’s suffrage is a bad thing?

I’m a woman, and I rather enjoy my right to vote. I’m also very conservative and opposed to abortion and the flagrant inappropriate use of the word ‘vagina.’

Women’s suffrage brought us women like Sarah Palin, too.

I’m curious as to what your intended point is here, and I enjoy polite discussions about these kind of things.

GENERALLY women voters can be swayed by emotions, particularly fear mongering.

Democrats have mastered fear mongering and racism (Outlaw killer weed because it might cause a black man to look at a white woman).

So TO THE DEGREE THAT woman can be manipulated into voting against the long term survival of the country, yes, Suffrage was bad.

This is NOT to say that many, if not most women are good and reasoned voters, nor is it to say that all men are wonderful voters.

Unfortunately for every Sarah Palin, there are a dozen Maxine Waters, and for every Reagan a dozen Kennedys.

What we really need is a way to detect sociopaths and remove them from the levers of power, and a test for rationality for voters.

Of course, somebody somewhere would claim that’s racist.
