By the way,
Landless men held the vote for a mere FIFTY YEARS while women did not, and yet, you women have been bitching at men about this for for NINETY YEARS! Isn’t it time to STFU about this ill informed issue?
The United States is NOT supposed to be a universal democracy in the first place. Not for men OR women. It is supposed to be a Republic. Maybe you should spend a bit more time reading and little less time talking.
Furthermore, the United Kingdom was THE most influential nation at that time, and in the UK, women who owned property could vote – although, sometimes they were forced to vote by proxy – but the argument was that since women paid taxes on that property, they ought to have a vote in where that tax money went. MEN supported this wholeheartedly. I doubt they would have had they known the plethoras of ungrateful “you’s” that were to pop up.
And furthermore, the FACT that only men were called upon to die in defence of their country SURELY ought to negate the glories of being the gender of who got to choose which enemy would put a bullet between your eyes. In those days, all the government really controlled was the military and the mail anyways. How horrible of men, to not allow women the right to dictate how MEN should die… oh, and the price of a stamp.
Second of all, and as I have already stated, women COULD own property. Please quit trying to sway the argument with blatant ignorance.
What women could not do was secure a loan without an income – exactly as are the banking practices of the modern day. In fact, today, we are similarly as sexist in that we rarely allow a woman OR man take out a loan without the other spouse also signing on the loan – for the reason that in divorce, after the settlements, if the main breadwinner is not on the loan, then he/she might RIGHTFULLY ignore things like car payments in the event of divorce when the property gets assigned to the other person. So, get your damn fact straight before you embrace bigotry.
Thirdly, the “fair wage” argument has been proven to be false so many times over that all it now proves is that you are a female supremacist desperately grasping at straws.
Men don’t have to take your trumped up bullshit, and I, for one, refuse to do so anymore.
