“Unfortunately there are some in this forum who think women should not be allowed to vote “

List all the great conservative positions and triumphs of women since they got the vote.

“Why DON’T women keep men away from them??”

Because men left on their own revert to cave men and would smell up the world, so women deal with men so men will clean up their act.

Logical theory, but if it hasn’t worked by now, I think it’s not gonna work. Why not just seal us up in our caves?

How Dramatically Did Women's Suffrage Change the Size and Scope of Government?

JOHN R. LOTT Jr.
American Enterprise Institute (AEI) (download links for whole document at bottom of page)

September 1998

University of Chicago Law School, John M. Olin Law & Economics Working Paper No. 60
Journal of Political Economy, Vol. 107, Number 6, Part 1, pp. 1163-1198, December 1999

Abstract:
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.

“Logical theory, but if it hasn’t worked by now, I think it’s not gonna work.

It has worked except on weekends when some guys get together for a weekend - then, the place has to be fumigated.

“Why not just seal us up in our caves?” Excellent suggestion.

Wow! Totally ignore my post. Hurl an insult. That’s the kind of reaction I expect from a DU troll. I’ve always suspected that you were a leftist traitor.

"Many of us men are sick to death of hysterical and emotional women, and more to the point, sick and tired of their emotional voting patterns that have put this country in the condition it’s in right now."

Well, one of the great characteristics of conservative, anti-feminist women (unlike hysterical, emotional feminists), is that conservative women are capable of appreciating humor.

From The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48 :

  Hysteria \Hys*te"ri*a\, n. [NL.: cf. F. hyst['e]rie. See
     Hysteric.] (Med.)
     A nervous affection, occurring almost exclusively in women,
     in which the emotional and reflex excitability is
     exaggerated, and the will power correspondingly diminished,
     so that the patient loses control over the emotions, becomes
     the victim of imaginary sensations, and often falls into
     paroxism or fits.
     [1913 Webster]
  
     Note: The chief symptoms are convulsive, tossing movements of
           the limbs and head, uncontrollable crying and laughing,
           and a choking sensation as if a ball were lodged in the
           throat. The affection presents the most varied
           symptoms, often simulating those of the gravest
           diseases, but generally curable by mental treatment
           alone. Hysteric

Thanks. Heh. That's pretty funny. As a university student long ago, I was called the same by a state N.O.W. president and some Mafia lawyers. It's an unintended compliment.
