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.
There are an awful lot of so called conservatives that think we can have the 19th ammendment and still live in a rational country.
I watch Mary Poppins with my kids and to me the biggest story in the whole show is that the wife is out trying to get the vote for women and the husband is allowing it to happen!!! OK I digress.
There was a very interesting post months ago that was a writing by a womens group that didn't want women to get the vote. They, like my wife, were very willing to not vote to keep the vote out of the hands of the rest of the women in the country. Their foresight was very interesting.
