Women voting is not the problem, it's a societal degradation and breakdown of the family units.

Men and women are both to blame.

You can make an argument that women are more susceptible and afflicted with the current brand of progressive socialistic/communistic insanity that is infecting the nation, but they are not the only reason - men are getting pretty stupid too.

In fact, historically, the !7th and 19th Amendments were reforms that came about because men, who at that time were the only ones who could legally vote, were screwing things up so badly that women demanded a say in how things were run..

The biggest thing that has changed with women voting is how politicians have changed their strategies to fool and control women voters once they had the vote. The same can be said for the Black vote. .

So now women, who before were the proponents of sobriety, decency and moderation in society, are now as degenerate/reprobate and are behaving as badly, if not worse, than the men did back in the bad old days.

So the 19th Amendment was a response to the excesses of male only voting and it actually was beneficial initially.

The 17th Amendment was in response to blatant corruption in the selection of Senators by the men running the state legislatures at the time.

Thank you for your thoughts. I would argue that the 17th was way more damaging to our form of government than the 19th could ever be. The United States changed forever our Senators from being State's advocates to Political whores of the moment that the house was meant to be. There was NEVER an agreement to leave the states Representatives up to a popular vote. Guess who championed that catastrophic change.

2 clues, it wasn't Republicans and it damn sure wasn't women.

“Women voting is not the problem, it’s a societal degradation and breakdown of the family units.”

Which has in large part been caused by women voting. Feminism wouldn’t have taken hold as it has without women voting. Back then the family was rock solid. It has almost disappeared since then.

And yes, in a way men are also to blame because they’re the ones who passed those Amendments.

What I find interesting is that the 16th, 17th, and 19tb were passed so close together. That was truly the “progressive” era - it pretty much obliterated the type of government the founders had created.

And of course during that time the 18th was also passed, and later repealed. Too bad they didn’t repeal the same with the other three while they were at it.

Ironically both the 18th and 19th were heavily promoted by women, and so men were pussy whipped into going along. So even without the vote women could get their way using the power between their legs. :)
