IMO, your willingness to disenfranchise yourself (and ME) because there are women who vote without thinking reflects poorly both on your concept of America.....what it is, and what it should be. Our right to vote is one of our most valued possessions, and your cavalier approach to giving it up.....no matter how high minded (and arrogant??) your reasons may be.....calls into question your ability to think any more soundly than the 'arousal gappers' whom you wish to disenfranchise.

Very well expressed, oWf. Thank you.

I don't know if it's my age (I'm in my early forties) or what, but I just don't see myself as subordinate to men. You'd have to pry my right to vote from my cold, dead fingers.

If some have difficulty accepting the will of others to vote as they see fit, my suggestion would be to work to educate those whose voting habits are so offensive, rather than suggesting they shouldn't have the right to vote at all.

The realization that some people think that way actually scares me.

Exactly, Daughter. I'm in my early 50's and there is NO WAY on earth I would give up my right to vote.......from the Presidential election to the local fire levy.

Anyone who seriously is willing to hand over their vote because there are stupid people who vote for stupid reasons is, well.........stupid.

And, no....the President does not walk 'funny' He walks 'studly.'

You nailed that one, Daughter! Great post!

I never even expect to agree with the way a majority of other people vote. And it's been my experience that when any sizeable group of people vote differently than me, it isn't necessarily or even usually because they are stupid, ignorant or duped. Instead, it's usually because they really do have different interests to protect or just see the world differently than I do. While sometimes more education for them or for me might bring us closer together, I've also come to accept that that won't always be the case.

One thing I'm sure of, though - the Nineteenth Amendment is in no danger so long as we have people like you around! LOL

They wouldn't dare! ;-)
