“”And some women wonder why it took a century for American women to get to vote!””
Not me and I’m a woman.. I don’t think we should have gotten the right to vote. I have never had anything against men or in particular old, white men! Men were (are) men and women were (are) women and what more was necessary? People who couldn’t get a job without special consideration and someone going to bat for them? Possibly. How many of us completed our educations - either high school or college - and then looked around for someone to clear the path for us? We applied for jobs and if we didn’t get them, we moved on. I right now can’t remember NOT getting any job I applied for but if I had, I wouldn’t have looked for someone else to blame for it.
Being a woman isn’t automatically some divine right of passage. It’s not anything that we did ourselves. We will now be a minority and ostracized because we carried on with our lives and our jobs (careers) without asking that anything be GIVEN to us because we were females. It wouldn’t have dawned on us that we were OWED anything. Apply for a job, get hired and do your job. Where on earth did that go off track? I know - I saw it in the sixties - on my way to and from work in Sacramento.
BTW, I’ve had both female and male bosses. Ask me which I preferred and admired and liked the best...
“I don’t think we should have gotten the right to vote.”
A woman here, too, and I agree with you. The feeeeelings of women are dangerous in the polling place. Give me brains and logic when it comes to making decisions.
