Support For 19th Amendment Decreases Sharply

WASHINGTON, D.C. — As tempers flared among girl congressmen on Capitol Hill yesterday, all male congressmen found themselves in unprecedented agreement that the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was clearly a mistake.

Stern-faced congressmen glanced at each other in silent unity as multiple girl congressmen erupted into a shameful shouting match during a House Oversight Committee hearing, with all the men sharing the same sentiment that granting women the right to vote and hold office was a severe miscalculation.

"Yeah, the 19th Amendment was a mistake," said Democrat Representative Jamie Raskin. "Back in 1920, I don't think our predecessors had the foresight that this would eventually be the result. We've got to do something to roll things back so we can silence the hen house here."

In a surprising moment of bipartisanship, congressmen from both sides of the aisle agreed. "There's no point in debating it at this point, we all know the 19th is destroying the country," said Arizona Republican Paul Gosar. "It's time for all of us men to come together — Democrats and Republicans — to right this great wrong in our nation's past."

Male congressmen reportedly had their staffers hard at work making plans to meet together at a bar later to get some peace and quiet and iron out some legislation for a change. "It would be nice to get some work done," Raskin said. "We can't even hear ourselves think with all those dames squawking like crazy."

At publishing time, male congressmen were preparing a new motion to have the girl congressmen relegated to a special soundproof girl congressman area.

Ms. Crockett is culturally appropriating white folks’ hair.

Truth is stranger than fiction.

I would cheerfully give up my vote if we could get those harpies out of there. Besides, as my grandmother told me, wives influenced their husband's votes substantially . . . while now they just cancel each other out.

Back in the good old days when only men were in Congress, things were much more decorous. Preston Brooks and Charles Sumner were unavailable for comment.

The Founding Fathers knew EXACTLY what they were doing by keeping women out of government/politics....and it had NOTHING to do with sexism, and EVERYTHING to do with extreme emotionalism.

Exactly. Nothing personal.

Our constitution will fall because we allowed our women to vote.

My wife convinced me of the 19th AMD mistake decades ago. She thought women should be eligible to run for and hold office but not to vote in elections.

It seems as if this country’s ability to spend within its means won’t be regained with the 19th amendment still in place.

16th, 17th. & 19th are the Bolshevik Amendments that enabled the deep state (16th), cut off state sovereignty (17th) and gave the vote to a class of citizens that in the aggregate puts safety and support for themselves and their children ahead of any sort of freedom (19th). The collectivist and centralization progression was made inevitable by these three.

Exactly.

I’ve said that many times - the 19th wasn’t a good idea. The 16th was even worse.

“Ms. Crockett is culturally appropriating white folks’ hair.”

And clothes, cars, airplanes, forks and spoons, dishes, toilets, houses, AC, and on and on and on...

18th empowered the Nanny State. It was repealed, but the Nanny State remains.
