American Women’s Self-Indulgence, primarily. (Or, as Ann Coulter puts it, “If we took away women’s right to vote, we’d never have to worry about another Democrat president.”
John Lott: “...Even after accounting for a range of other factors — such as industrialization, urbanization, education and income — the impact of granting of women’s suffrage on per-capita state government expenditures and revenue was startling. Per capita state government spending after accounting for inflation had been flat or falling during the 10 years before women began voting. But state governments started expanding the first year after women voted and continued growing until within 11 years real per capita spending had more than doubled. The increase in government spending and revenue started immediately after women started voting.
Yet, as suggestive as these facts are, we must still consider whether women’s suffrage itself caused the growth in government, or did the government expand due to some political or social change that accompanied women’s suffrage?
Fortunately, there was a unique aspect of women’s suffrage that allows us to answer this question: Of the 19 states that had not passed women’s suffrage before the approval of the 19th Amendment, nine approved the amendment, while the other 12 had suffrage imposed on them. If some unknown factor caused both a desire for larger government and women’s suffrage, then government should have only grown in states that voluntarily adopted suffrage. This, however, is not the case: After approving women’s suffrage, a similar growth in government was seen in both groups of states.
Women’s suffrage also explains much of the federal government’s growth from the 1920s to the 1960s. In the 45 years after the adoption of suffrage, as women’s voting rates gradually increased until finally reaching the same level as men’s, the size of state and federal governments expanded as women became an increasingly important part of the electorate.”

don’t tell me that, if men did what they were supposed to do and followed God, women wouldn’t have a problem
Instead we have men getting drunk, men getting boyfriends, men having affairs, men gambling, men beating on women and children, going to Argentina instead of running their states, sticking their wienies everywhere instead of running their countries, quitting their jobs so they don’t have to pay child support, wrecking cars, not paying the bills, refusing to work, forming unions so they don’t have to work........need I go on?
