Was it a mistake for women to be given the "right" to vote?

Question

Lay it on me.

Answer 1

Or maybe it was wrong for you to be born...

Answer 2

Nope, because it makes my husbands vote count twice! We get together and decide who we are going to vote for and vote as a team, that way we don't cancel each other out. I think it is working perfectly!

Answer 3

Does equal rights ring a bell

Answer 4

Very interesting question, Sir!  Something I myself have pondered at times.  I love and cherish my right to vote--don't get me wrong!  But things like this are indeed intriguing, especially not being given to the delusions of feminism as are so many these days.

You MUST see this hillarious Youtube video about girls being quesioned as to whether or not they wanted to "end women's suffrage"!  :-)  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIdC5vHfE...

I do believe this was not a mistake, however.  You see, without the ability to vote, women had no representation.  In many cases no safety, if you will.  The years preceding women's suffrage, the abuse of women was intolerably high.  Husbands could treat their wives in any manner they chose, including violent beatings, etc.

One of the intents and purposes for gaining suffrage was to enable them to help pass laws which would protect them.  And it worked.  You might enjoy reading a biography of Sojourner Truth, who not only campaigned against slavery (herself an ex-slave), but went on to push for women's suffrage.  There was not the self-centered, egotistical feel to it you see today with what many try to identify as "women's rights."  This was legitimate and worthy of the good fight.

Thank you for the interesting question, and the courage to ask it!

Answer 5

Wow. I can't believe someone would be stupid enough to actually post a question like this. Did your mommy not love you enough? What makes you better than any woman? Nothing. Do you even have a girlfriend? I doubt it. Did some ex rub you the wrong way? Of course it was NOT a mistake to allow women the RIGHT WE HAVE to vote...it's only to bad we had to wait so long. Women fought for this. Men sat around thinking they were better. Sexism is very prominent in the United States, it's not nearly as bad as some other countries but you've given me proof that misogynist men are unfortunately alive and well. Do yourself a favor and delete this question, it will save you a lot more insult and time since it will be deleted for abuse anyways. You do know that it counts as hate speech and that discriminating against someone due to gender is illegal, don't you? Probably not, you obviously don't have the best head on your shoulders.

Answer 6

Equal rights.... hm-mm .... women getting into boy's academies and no boys getting into girls academies... girls on boys football teams and no boys on girl volleyball teams... you ever try as a man to get into a "Curves for Women".... equal rights my a$$!  

Answer 7

do you want any dinner or clean underpants n socks?????? then shhhh or you won't get em lol

Answer 8

I don't know. It seems to me that we should all just stop voting. It just seems as if this country just can't get it right. No matter who I vote for I loose. Maybe we should vote in a new congress at the same time we vote for a president. Shake up the whole system. Would it be any better if it were just men voting? I don't think so. Neither would it be better if it were only women voting. So what's the problem? I feel like sheep being led to slaughter. But I keep on voting. lol.  

Answer 9

Sounds like to me you should be the poster child for abortion.  How's that?

Answer 10

Hmmm... methinks your mom should not have been given the choice to breed : )

Answer 11

Now there's are really enlightened question from an obvious male chauvinist.  Excuse me, but how does having a pair give you intrinsic rights.  Funny, in nature males are the expendable ones.  Most of them mate and die.  I wonder what planet earth would have been like if that happened here.  I think the Amazons had the right idea.  Where is Wonder Woman when we need her?

Answer 12

jesus loves you  

Answer 13

Of course not. Equal rights means that we all get to share the blame for electing a r****d if it happens hint* hint* (again)...I don' think men should have to entirely take the fall for that. They would beunder a lot of pressure becasue god knows we would have many bad presidents if it were left solely up to the men

Answer 14

go around asking women if they would like to end womens suffrage

thy will almost always say yes.

suffrage is right to vote

Answer 15

Oh, you bet.  Keep those lazy bitc*es in the house!  Keep them pinned to the kids, the laundry, the stove.  Keep the MEN in charge!!  They know BEST.

Answer 16

I imagine its not "women" but the pathetic people in the populus at large that have been spoiled with liberty, taken their freedom for granted and never had to really do anything for thier nation but pay taxes.

Lets face it, America has been under seige by the subliminal pinnings of socialists, marxists and irresponsible liberals for a few decades now, hitting out childred at all levels of learning institutes and it has effected the direction America is headed.

Many of the little mush minds now not only don't step up to fight for America and its freedom, rights and liberty, but don't even agree with anything America does as policy......meanwhile its convenient the way they shelve what happened on 9/11.

Its convenient how they forget all the terrorist attacks we have endured dating back to the 1700's. The long list of what we did even leading up to the current war in Iraq seems a big blur to them. But these mush heads and spew what CNN has told them from a tainted point of view like its todays menu.

Its been stated that this is the dumbest generation in history...and I can't help but start believing it a little.

Answer 17

no women are the back bone of life  

women are givers of life

a womans voice is love

Answer 18

For some reason I don't see as very likable.

I wonder what your mom would think of you if she knew you felt that way about women. I bet you would get a wake up call.....hopefully anyway.

Good luck to you and your future partner, steve.

;-Þ

Answer 19

I very interested in who you came up with that question. A woman has just as much right to vote as any man. If you think other wise you apparently are not intelligent enough  to vote.

Answer 20

sure adam it was your fault maybe we didnt' get to vote earlier. yes we are sure to vote and hold our heads up high and become what we are there is still along way to go for us but someday we will be equals and we'll be the head of things not you. lol

Answer 21

YES

Answer 22

only mistake was to not take it away from men at the same time

Answer 23

it was a mistake for  MEN to have the  right to vote... oh and let it go men.. really this is what the 21 century.. DEAL WITH IT...

for all of those morons who agree with that...

HA good luck finding a date...

Answer 24

Nope!
