I answered this charge before, go back and read my comments. It was an opinion piece I wrote for a friends blog, and like I have also said I wish I never had the right to vote as an 18 year old because the uninformed young vote has also contributed to our downfall. As I said, since 1920 men too have become overly emotional in their lives.

In my opinion, giving 18 year old's the right to vote was an emotional response by those who saw all the young men dieing in the Vietnam War that decided that if you can die for your country then you should be able to vote. I attribute that to the feminization of men's thought process.

Same with dropping the age to 18 for drinking, which was the same reason for giving them the right to vote, the dieing for the country sentiment. However men and women, conservative and liberal had no problem getting on board to take their right to drink away, and support raising it back to 21. Again as an emotional vote as it was to give it to them them in the first place.

When I was young I was irrationally emotional, as I got older I began to use logic and wisdom from true experiences. Now I am conservative, the very reason many become conservative when they get older. I don't hide my youthful indiscretions from people. I admit them while pointing out how I grew and saw the error of my ways.

We live in a very emasculated society that does everything based upon their emotions. It all started when men started to cow tow to every emotional whim by the women. Either admit it or not, I don't care anymore.

It is time to drop it. Talk about emotional, you are being consumed by this. metmom, for your own sanity please let it go, because I have and I will now go onto another topic.

I appreciate the passion and love you have for your right to vote, I think you should keep it.

Now I am working on an opinion piece about whether or not the Church should give up their tax exempt status. If you desire to jump all over me for that also, I will welcome it, but this conversation is over. In my mind it is well in the past and I have moved on, I suggest you do the same.

May God's Spirit calm your anger and give you piece.

"It all started when men started to cow tow to every emotional whim by the women."

No it didn't. It began with the sexual revolution and the growth of the welfare state, mostly implemented by men. How gleeful men were at the prospect of having all the sex they wanted with no consequences, and some employed it with relish. (No emotionalism there, right?) Those consequences are now coming home to roost.

I have found absolutely no support for the premise that men are more logical and less emotional then women, even among the conservative men I know. To me, one of life's great disappointments.
