Eliminate women's suffrage?



Of course I'm joking.


But has anyone ever noticed that our country started to turn really socialistic when women began to vote?

Correlation does not always = causation, however I think the coincidence is interesting.


Thoughts?

Boo.

I think it's men that keep starting all these wars and raising my taxes.

 

[ShowMeLiberty]

Boo. Hiss.

I'm sure it's much more related to the decreasing number of pirates in the world than it is to women voting.

Yes - but who keeps electing men who raise taxes and start wars?

Nanny state.

 

[Dave Pedersen]

I voted yes because I think it's awful to let women keep suffering.

Women suffrage increased the government but NOT because it was women voting. (As in it has nothing to do with sex/gender). Women increased the number of people voting, which of course leads to more government, and also brought another interest group in to play thus giving the ruling class another card to play in order to increase their power. The same thing would have happened if it was women that had originally voted and then male suffrage was introduced.

Uh, no.

Unless you want to try to argue that the prohibition still would have happened if it weren't for the female dominated temperance movement.

Women were responsible for ending prohibition as well.

From druglibrary.org

"With the growth of well-organized and serious national anti-Prohibition groups like Americans Against the Prohibition Amendment and the Women's Organization for National Prohibition Reform, popular support for repeal grew geometrically during the thirteen years of Prohibition. In th midst of the 1932 presidential election campaign, it erupted."

I think the male bootleggers did that.

Well, whoever did it, there still can be little doubt that women's suffrage caused the prohibition.

How could anyone possibly think that it was a coincidence that the prohibition began in the exact same year that women's suffrage did?

All I'll say about this thread:

Matt, you got great big brass ones to post this question, and I hope none of the wonderful women who post here know your real identity. Women can be much more violent than men, given sufficient provocation.

LOL, Hot Topics

Matt, you got great big brass ones to post this question,

You have NO IDEA!

and I hope none of the wonderful women who post here know your real identity.

yes this is my real name ha ha.

Well, before men eliminate our right to vote, possibly they should consider the survival of the species.

 

[FrankRep]

The results disappoint me.

Who would vote Yes? :-\

 

[Fox McCloud]

we should remove the amendment, in my honest opinion, but women should be able to vote.

Under the Constitution, all men were created equal (this applies to women too), therefore, why do we need an amendment to the Constitution, just so women can vote?

A lot of these amendments sound good at first, but, in the long run, only increase government power.

I kinda like the idea of property owners votes having more weight than non-property owners. Was that Locke's idea?

Property owners have more at stake and are less likely to vote for more taxes.
