Yeah because men have been doing such a wonderful job. 🙄 Less than a quarter of elected officials are females. The other three quarters are males. Given that they overwhelmingly run the show & are the vast majority of government officials, it seems only fair to give the majority a majority of the criticism. If you are unhappy with the current state of American law, it was mainly men that wrote it. If you don’t feel you have adequate representation, it was mainly men representing you. If you don’t feel your values have been spoken about enough, it was mainly men doing the talking.

My point here isn’t to say that I blame either gender, it’s that I don’t think gender is a determinant for good governance, I think it’s the individual person & their commitment to a limited government & constitutional governing philosophy, traditional moral standards & a generally free-market economic stance. I will grant you some truths: the general population of women are slightly more willing to vote for Democrats than the general population of men (there is a gender gap usually of 5 points between the 2). I’ll also concede that there is a limited segment of women that are too emotional & irrational to truly do a go job in selecting government representatives. No doubt about that! But you’d have a hard time arguing that overemotionalism hasn’t affected a sizable portion of men as well in recent decades & that the percentage of men willing to vote Democrat is pretty ainfuriating in its own right.

I dont have a problem with flippant remarks about banning women’s votes- my husband says stuff all the time. And believe me, in the instances that I see a majority of women vote for the non-conservative, it makes me mad as hell & debate possibly banning womens votes. What I object to is the half serious ‘make me a sammitch’ attitude & the not so subtle sport of blaming women for the state of the country, politics, culture, everything. That’s a convenient excuse to avoid talking about all of the reasons we find our country in such an awful state. It doesn’t help!

I’m about as staunch a conservative as you wol be able to find- on all issues. My emotional temperament is conservative and stoic as well. I’m no Powder puff! I’m a harass. I read comments like yours and I still come here because conservatism is more important to me than anything a person could say. But, I do wonder how many women that read your comments & avoid coming back because they don’t want to endure being put down or insulted. The truth is we need every vote we can possibly get in order to win upcoming election. Could you please put your Neanderthalism on hold- at least until we win the election! 😉
