Should Women Vote?

Should women vote?

Must we listen to those that say that it is unnecessary? (Yes, Patriarchy people I'm looking at you!)

I'm not going waste time arguing with anyone; because this quote says all that I need to say.

"I find it poor logic to say that women should vote because they are good. Men do not vote because they are good; they vote because they are male, and women should vote, not because we are angels and men are animals, but because we are human beings and citizens of this country." ~ Jo March, Little Women, 1994.

There.

End of story.

  1. Something I've often wondered considering the women-shouldn't-vote position:

    Is there a problem with women voting elsewhere where voting privileges are also not given to households? I'm thinking of church business meetings, company shareholders meetings, social clubs, etc.

  2. I agree.... I am not a feminist, but I think I agree... by the way, I love Ingrid Bergman too!

I understand if you don't use your real name for privacy reasons. However, I prefer that all writers consistently use a username instead of hiding behind an "Anonymous". I will approve most comments that use polite English, have a name to them, and don't forget to Let it Be. :-)
If you don't Let it Be, be warned that your comment may appear because "I think you should stand up for your incredible work." :-D
Also, if God changes my heart about something I said (which does happen) I will go back and change it. However, in most cases, "I meant what I said and I said what I meant... I stand by my work 100 percent."
