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

[Rush Limbaugh]

I know Ill be accused of being a sexist here but I have always maintained that giving women the vote was the end of us. The founders knew what they were doing. Women are already born with too big an advantage over men. They manipulate the hell out of us as it is.

Its called the feminization of America.

I think that we should go back to only land owners get to vote because only they pay taxes as well and the voting age needs to be increased.

So much for the democratic party though huh ?

I believe that there should be a small politics test which one is required to pass to be able to vote. This would mean that only people who know a thing or two about how the country is run could have a say and affect things, therefore politicians could no longer pander to the lowest common denominator thus reducing a lot of the bull**** in today's politics. Imagine, politicians getting asked about their political stances!

Saying that women should not be allowed to vote because they are women is incredibly sexist.

[The White Knight]

I'm guessing not hugely, at least not in the very beginning. I didn't read the article, but do women really demonstrate a great difference in what they think is important in the governing of a country/state/...?

I'm guessing many people vote like their partners, regardless of sex.

[Rush Limbaugh]

Face it Women are incredibly liberal. Its like the liberals represent the feminine point of view and the conservatives the male. Liberals think with their hearts and men with their brains. It brings balance however to the world. But it doesnt belong in politics. Again woman have a way of getting their men to vote the way they want. If you know what I mean. We arent born with a money maker.

So you're saying women shouldn't be allowed to vote because they mostly vote liberal (and we all know you hate liberals)?

Now I don't know about America, but here in Britain we vote privately and no woman can know who we actually voted for.

[Rush Limbaugh]

Once you give someone freedom, they won't give it back. And besides, women aren't all, or even mostly liberals. Most mother's I know are actually conservatives. Once people start a family, they are more likely to be conservative, because they become more protective.

And wisdom comes with age as Churchill put it. If you catch my drift.

So you're saying women shouldn't be allowed to vote because they mostly vote liberal (and we all know you hate liberals)?

Well that was sort of toungue in cheek but yes. And for the same reason that the older ones vote conservative. They think the government will help protect them. I do no support liberal policies . But did they or did they not lead to bigger government. I say without a doubt.

load of rubbish, you will be suprised the amount of racist rubbish that comes out of the mouths of women, my grandmother still refers to black people as "darkies", hardly liberal. and my mother was never afraid to give me or my brother a smack when we got out of line and she wants to see caneing back in school, what the hell can be more conservative then that?!?

also liberalism doesnt always mean = bad.


look, i dont mind the odd sexist joke, i see inequality towards men in the family courts etc as well. but still, even i say women should have the vote and the right to atlest try to do the same things(jobs) as men.

equality is a good thing, i for example wouldnt mind being a stay at home dad for a few years if that day ever comes, seems alright to me.

I think there would be less war, but less getting done and more covert stuff. Male and Female minds are different, so I am not sexist.

.

i will give you 5 mins to take it back

Oh, dear God, Rush. Dear God.

I facepalm you.

[Rush Limbaugh]

Look Im here to make people think. Dont take everyhting I say as my heart felt beliefs. Of course im vastly generalizing here. But there is far more to link the growth of government here to women that global warming to man

And that reminds me how come only men are responsible? Its sexist.

[Cluny the Scourge]

You can believe in justice before brutishness, principle before greed and compassion before ambition without being a woman. Here in Britain the Liberal Party was frequently prevalent long before women were given the vote. The Liberals led us throughout the First World War.

[Rush Limbaugh]

Liberal here and there are very different things.

You can believe in justice before brutishness, principle before greed and compassion before ambition without being a woman.

My that sounds so nice . Does it take women to make men act like that? Your just proving my point. Women just aint tuff enough. When push comes to shove they let their hearts rule their reason .....IN GENERAL.

But how about arguing the point of this thread? Did it lead to the tremendous growth and scope of government?

[Aetius]

I have always wondered what the world would be life if our society was matriarchal....

Female presidents, female senators, female representatives, females got paid more on average...

I think there would be less war, but less getting done and more covert stuff. Male and Female minds are different, so I am not sexist.

Responding to the OP:

[Thanatos]

I'm fine with Women's Suffrage for voting and all that, but after all that? No way, look at them now. They'll never shut up about "inequality" and "sexism," just like the Jews will never shut up about the Holocaust, or the Black people about "racism."

It's all stupid.

[Shaun]

So Rush, people who vote for a party you do not agree with should not be allowed to vote? How democratic and fair!

[Rush Limbaugh]

Did I say that? Its not the party I oppose its liberalism . Thats why I hate the republicans as well these days.

OK. So you don't want women to be able to vote because they vote for a party which represents an ideology which you do not agree with. That is exactly what you're saying.

[Rush Limbaugh]

K. So you don't want women to be able to vote because they vote for a party which represents an ideology which you do not agree with. That is exactly what you're saying.

I dont want them to vote because too often they dont use their heads. Is that too hard to fathom. its my opinion. But again your not addressing the topic but my attempt to spice things up.

It is true that women think differently than men and are more emotional, but this certainly does not impair their ability to make a rational decision in voting. But then again you are so partisan that you will say that anyone who doesn't agree with you is wrong and not using their heads.

[Joker85]

I must say all the women running around screaming sexism and blacks racism when their candidates were down this primary season does show just how degenerate the democrat party has become with their identity politics.

It is like those two stock lines were the only weapons they had to advance their political agenda. Only this time rather than focusing it on evil republicans they were forced to fight each other with their own weapons. The end result is a bunch of chickens screaming OMG YOU RACIST SEXIST VOTE FOR MY GUY while the process drags on and on.

[removeduser_426582376423734]

You might find this totally out there, but not all black people cry racism, and not all women cry sexism.

I know, its like they can think, right? Wierd.
