Have I questioned someone's sex on this board? Don't beat around the bush, say what you mean in plain language.

Sure, you questioned the whole female sex when you agreed with MissAmericanPie's "valid" points about women and how they vote, when you characterized the virtues of a "patriarchal" society, and when you equated socialism to a "matriarchal" society. That is why I told you to take your own words and apply them to all women.

At least 2 other people besides her have pinned the blame for the downfall of American society on the right of women to vote. Do you agree with them?

No.
Way too simplistic, do we blame blacks for democrats? It is the same arguement.
The breakdown was under way before the Suffrage Act and adding emotion to the equation didn't help the process.
What did more to accelerate the problem in my opinion is allowing people who don't own property to vote.
But what I think really doesn't matter, it is what it is and I am just doing my best to enjoy my time here.

As far as the matriarch/patriarch debate.
I say we are way too scared of a society, you see it in the police tactics, you see it in the soccer mommies and daddies. Everybody has their pet fear, for some it is guns, for others it is dogs, for others Arabs.
You see and hear it on this conservative forum all the time.
If I could change anything it would be that.
