Have been saying for years that they shouldn’t have gotten the vote. (And I’m a woman). They’re cancelling out their husbands vote besides. They’re ONE ISSUE people and miss the big picture.
All the women I know really dislike Hillary. ((Especially scan58 & babyfreep.)
What’s the one issue?
You defame every female conservative, and exemplify the worst of leftist thinking with a post like this.
“Have been saying for years that they shouldn’t have gotten the vote. (And I’m a woman). They’re cancelling out their husbands vote besides. They’re ONE ISSUE people and miss the big picture.”
That takes guts for you to post that. In general I agree with you. The problem is, it’s not true for all women. I’d be more in favor of a voter competence test. Once a year, a simple current events test. You pass, you’re in, you fail, you get 1 or 2 retries, and then it’s wait until next year.
To me that seems reasonable, and logical, therefore, it will never, ever happen.
One the bright side, sadly no longer elect the best candidate but at least we elect the cutest candidate with the best looking spouse and children.
But all those women have been voting for male presidents. So isn't the problem with the men?
I said that same thing on FR a few years ago and I'm a man. I got a ton of the most scathing replies you could imagine and finally stopped even reading them. My point was, and still is, that if women had not voted in recent elections we would not have had Carter or Clinton as presidents, nor about half of the Democrats who have been in Congress for the last 50 years or more.
I didn't say nor do I believe that women are inferior to men in intelligence or any other category of human ability except possibly sheer physical strength. But I think that any neutral observer of the US political scene would have to admit that women in general are more inclined to vote for liberal or moderate candidates than for hard right conservative candidates, especially if the liberal is a woman, and in general are more willing to give up some degree of personal freedom in exchange for security than the majority of men are.
Anyway, it's interesting to speculate on how much different the US would be today if the 19th Amendment had not been passed by an all-male Congress and ratified by the all-male state legislatures of that era. One thing I believe we could be quite sure of, Hillary would not be our next president and neither would Obama or the Breck Girl.
