Not at all. I think that women are among the most wonderful parts of creation, Chris. I just have a very strong belief about the different roles that each gender should undertake in life.

Your potential future wife thinks that no female should ever vote, simply because they were not born with a penis? That's what she thinks? Honestly?

She does not vote herself, nor do any of her sisters. None of them are politically active or interested. They do not pay enough attention to what's going on in the world to be interested in politics or anything of that sort. My girlfriend specifically doesn't vote because she doesn't believe that she is or can become politically "educated" enough to vote, and in actuality she doesn't really think that women need to vote. "That's what we have you guys for. We've got more important things to worry about, like diapers and dinners." as she has put it to me on several occasions.

I believe that Ann Coulter (like it or not she is certainly educated and informed on politics) noted that the country would be better off if women couldn't vote because only JOHNSON won the male vote of all dems who have run since Harding (first president where women voted)

in other words, the dems never would have won with Kennedy (huge female gender gap, same with Clinton and Carter) or even FDR if only men voted.

Who cares what Ann Coulter says? IMO, she's a bitch anyways. Do you agree with that assessment? That women should only be able to vote if they vote for the candidate of your (or Ann Coulter's :roll:) preference?

The only way I'd be in favor of women voting would be to give an additional vote to their husband/father/brother FOR THEM.
 
Of course, anyone who wouldn't has serious problems of their own.
 
I'd be absolutely fine voting for a woman as long as she was the one that most represented my views

Tradition, for one thing. There is a deep-rooted, instinctual reason why there have not been any major matriarchal societies in the world in the last millenium. The societies you find which are matriarchal in nature tend to be small, clan or family based socieites rather than larger onese. Women are not and never have been designed to be in charge of large political structures. It's not what they were designed for.

Should just rich white landowners be allowed to vote? That, after all, was tradition for awhile.

You didn't give me a choice so here is mine. I vote for the person I thought could do the best job . H. Clinton is an example of a strong possibility. Her gender is part of her presence. She uses it correctly in places like the international stage; and the way she does it doesn't put her at a disadvantage. Other women can do this too, being female is not a disadvantage. Also, Tigger, consider how Clinton does her 'man's' job.

Mrs. Clinton does a job which shouldn't exist in the first place, and even if it does should not be the pervue of a woman. She has NOT accorded herself in the manner which I would want anyone to in that position. This is not wholely her own failing, but as much a failing of what is currently expected of people in that office.

Before you ask.... I'm an ISOLATIONIST. There's no need for a SecState if there is no interaction with other nations.

I vote for candidates based on their qualifications, their ideas and their sense of pragmatism. Not gender.

If a black lesbian atheist woman was the one I agreed with the most, she'd get my vote.

If a hetero white, evangelical man was the one I agreed with the most, he'd get my vote.

It's that simple. Ideas, not physical attributes.

You summed it up better than I could have done

Hard to stay on the topic isn't it. But I can see that an isolationist would have his own POV generated by what he sees in isolation. You are well practiced.

You're the one who brought Clinton up, not me. Though i do thank you for the compliment.
 
I marvel at the warped mind that can claim it is pretty much a lost cause but somehow TIME, not people such as himself, will right the 'wrong'. About as lazy and cowardly outlook on life as can be.

On another point, if a woman's family might suffer if she runs for public office, (as if a man's family won't as well), then a lesbian who's thoughts on gay rights, or the lack there of, would be a winner for those people who hesitate at voting for a fertile, hetro, family oriented woman?

Just wondering... :peace

It's simply the realization that like any other runaway train or automobile, feminism will eventually run its course and sanity will be restored to society. Getting in front of that car or train is not going to stop it. You have to wait until it runs out of fuel or it runs into some form of immoveable object.

Maybe they are and maybe they aren't. We're never going to get the chance to prove it one way or the other, now will we?

If your serious about your comments about women and its becoming apparent you are...I find that offensive as a father of 6 girls and a wife whos alot ore competent and smarter than me...to have you insinuate they cant do something or wouldnt be good at it merely because their female....tigger that sucks and its a crock of garbage
 
Option #1 (I'd be happy and excited to vote for a woman) is the closest to my point-of-view, but I couldn't choose it as it is just a tad too far off.

I'm generally not "happy and excited" to vote for anybody unless they hold the vast majority my views, then I really don't give a rat's arse what gender they are.

I haven't suggested they can't. I have suggested they shouldn't. I believe that pretty much all of life is about what one SHOULD or SHOULDN'T do much moreso than what one can and can't do.
