I know you quoted from your article. You didn't differentiate the quotes. The illogical way you did it (you should have labeled the quotes) made it look as though I was the author of both quotes. Thus, I had to call attention to it, so the readers were not confused. A logical person would have realized that instead of jumping to emotional conclusions about my emotionalism.

You blame men for giving their emotional counterparts the right to vote, as the reason for our current debacle, that more women vote for democrats than men. I blame men, as I said now twice, but for a different reason. To have acknowledged that we both blame men in and of itself is not enough. Logic dictates you should have followed through and also have noted the varying reasons for the blame, to make the discussion thorough and to avoid leaving a false impression which you failed to do.

Frankly there isn't a point in your article that hasn't been discussed on FR since I first came here in 1998, many, many times. The points are superficially trite and lacking in depth, and it contains nothing fresh or particularly insightful.

The fact remains that without the sexual revolution, the reason for the disparity among men and women and their votes for Democrats and Republicans would be nonexistent, as would the disparity itself.

For me personally, except for the men in my family, the males in my age group with whom I have known well or been acquainted, rarely were of the same political persuasion. Most were college educated and accepted whatever the popular culture dictated when it came to just about everything, including politics. They were so illogical, our conversations when it came to anything of worth, substance or seriousness, were maddening. Every time someone posts the ridiculous comments you make about women and their lack of logic, I am reminded of them. You so understate and ignore the psychological and social dynamics of our current society, as if we're living back in the days of "Annie Get Your Gun," it is laughable.

From OneVike's homepage, in his own words.....

I have been a Freeper since Feb 1998, and a Republican since my wife's father convinced me that the Democrats have left me. Later I realized that the Democrats never left me, I never had common beliefs with them in the first place. I was just thinking emotionally instead of logically.

It's OK for him to vote and keep his right to vote, because he's a man. Even when he votes emotionally, by his own admission, he can keep his right to vote, but he advocates that women should never have had the vote because they vote *emotionally*.

Being a tad hypocritical, isn't he?
