When mentally retared people vote, don't we question that ? Though I am NOT saying that women are like those whose IQs make then unfit to vote, or that some of them aren't as intelligent and informed as men are( some are more so ! ), it is a fact that more women pay less attention to politics and current events AND vote in larger numbers for Dems.

Why should my simple post so offend you ? Are YOU that insecure ?

Why should my simple post so offend you ?

Your post was no simple post. You said:

Repeal women's suffrage AND raise the voting age back up to 21 ! I would gladly give up my right to vote, since so many females, who vote becuase of how a candidate looks, would no longer be voting either.

I'm sorry, but this is ridiculous. The idea that so many women vote because of looks being a good reason to not allow ALL women not to vote is elitist, sexist and illogical. How can you justify denying over half of the voting population the right to fully participate in society? Because some don't think their decision through, all should be denied? Generations before us fought hard to change the laws and put our God-given rights into practice. Would you throw them away so casually? Men and women have died defending our rights, did they do so in vain? Should we return to a society governed only by right-thinking land owners, since they are the only ones who could possibly have enough stake in the outcome as to deserve to vote?

Are YOU that insecure ?

This was uncalled for. Nowhere in my post did I personally attack you. I merely indicated that the suggestion that women should be denied the right to vote was offensive. You rebut my statement by questioning my self-confidence. I find that quite telling.
