Perhaps you forget that women voting is a very new thing. Look at what it has given us.

[Durus]

No I haven't forgotten anything.

What legistlation wouldn't have been passed if women didn't have the vote? What people wouldn't have been elected if women didn't have the vote? It's easy to make blanket statements but provide evidence for those statements.

[Semaphore Heathcliffe]

The maternal/feminine instinct, as expressed in the voting booth, is nothing but poison to a republic such as ours. Respect for individual responsibility and acknowledgement of inherent risks in life, for starters, are not things women (most that I know, anyway) can readily embrace.

I had an exchange with a woman one time that perfectly summed up the whole dynamic. I told her, in some unrelated conversation, that I occaisionally would go running in the neighborhood very late a night if my schedule required it.

"That's DANGEROUS! You shouldn't do that!"

Not a problem. I always at least carry my knife.

"A KNIFE? You're SCARING me!"

I shouldn't run at night because it's dangerous, and I shouldn't arm myself because then I'm dangerous. The 19th Am unleashes this dynamic on us all, and we're forced to watch as the femininzed state sqeezes more and more actual freedom from our daily lives.
