Thanks for the ping, LG - I just have not been doing my pinging duty very well lately; overcome by the nightmare...
I have already stated my position - I’d give up my vote if it meant millions of idiot females had to give up theirs! I’ve told about my introduction to feminism in Berkeley, circa 1969. SHort version:
I was a typical crazy hippie, had a room mate who was about 10 years older (another young woman) who invited me to some “womens’ liberation” meetings. Heck, I’d been to Altamont, Steve Gaskin meetings, took LSD about every other day - I was game for anything. They had free dope passed around so that was sort of interesting. Then by the second or third meeting (I just sat in the corner not participating, just kind of listening) they all started ranting and raving and screeching about EEEEEVIL patriarchical society, EEEEEVIL men, and how they all lusted for other women.
That was it, I realized even in my state of mental aberration that feminism was unnatural, evil, and hateful in every way. Then later my female room mate admitted she lusted for women (me!) and that was the dingleberry on the crap cake.
I am so anti-feminism it ain’t funny.
Doesn’t mean a Jeanne D’Arc can’t show up every now and then - look at Ann Barnhardt. But they are the exception. I didn’t know about jury duty - was that added when the vote was?
I’d also want literacy test, and perhaps property owner, for voting. My thoughts are not set in stone, but the way it is now has led us directly do not pass Go, to hell.
