See post 48. We’ve moved beyond the “women shouldn’t be in charge” crap to the “women shouldn’t be allowed to vote” crap.

See post 48. We’ve moved beyond the “women shouldn’t be in charge” crap to the “women shouldn’t be allowed to vote” crap.

G.K. Chesterton was against women's suffrage because he felt they were too easily swayed by emotion reliably to vote rationally (note the awkwardness engendered by the lack of a split infinitive); and that their political influence should be used on their husbands at home.

God only knows what he would have said given the demographics of the single-mother vote as a monolithic lib-Democrat constituency.

Cheers!
