Yes, I mean it. It was set up that way for several reasons.
Thank God I own property, Elkie!! But, I know you’d count MY vote. :)
This whole thing is making me physically ill. How we will survive this administration remains to be seen. *BARF*
I agree with you. I’m a woman myself, and I’ve been saying the same thing for years.
Frankly, I agree. And I mean it.
I wholeheartedly agree. I'd gladly give up my vote if it meant that the rest of the silly, emotion-ruling instead of rationality, fools lost theirs as well. My sex is an embarrassment to me.
This paper examines the growth of government during this century as a result of giving women the right to vote. Using cross-sectional time-series data for 1870 to 1940, we examine state government expenditures and revenue as well as voting by U.S. House and Senate state delegations and the passage of a wide range of different state laws. Suffrage coincided with immediate increases in state government expenditures and revenue and more liberal voting patterns for federal representatives, and these effects continued growing over time as more women took advantage of the franchise. Contrary to many recent suggestions, the gender gap is not something that has arisen since the 1970s, and it helps explain why American government started growing when it did.
Well I agree about the public office part..but not being able to vote because you dont own property? I guess everyone in the military who just signed up are screwed then eh?
