Wonen's Sufrage

[SmartAZ]

You might give some thought to why women were not given the vote at first, and why the country got along so well for almost a century and a half with only the men in charge.

There are several important reasons why women should not be allowed to vote. One is that the primary purpose of government is (or better be) defense. Defense is a masculine responsibility. Men kill things, and sometimes they get killed, defending their homes. Women prefer to avoid killing things. For that reason alone, women and men vote for very different leaders. Another reason is that women are inherently of a different political mindset from men. A man has a family, but a woman is a family. A family is inherently socialist. Each member contributes according to ability and each recieves according to need and it's all administered by a loving mother and supported by a loving father. (At least that's the way it's supposed to be.) A man lives in a totally opposite world where each works to meet his needs and is paid according to his merit.

What we are seeing in the USA is an assault on the family. It began even before the revolution, with public education, which was made compulsory at the insistence of manufacturers about 150 years ago. The manufacturers specifically demanded schools modeled on the Prussian schools, which were modeled on the Indian buddhist schools, which were modeled on Greek and Latin schools for slaves! Yes, the public school system was developed specifically to turn out docile obedient workers! But the Prussians, buddhists, Greeks, and Romans didn't send upper class children to schools, they were educated by parents and tutors at home, and boys and girls were kept separated until they were old enough to attend formal social events. That resulted in boys learning the skills to be empire builders while girls learned the skills to manage homes and families. Throwing the girls and boys together leads to boys never learning how to act like men and girls thinking they can and should somehow be equal to boys.

I don't suggest that one way is right and another wrong. I do suggest that the USA was a great country in the 19th century and was not a great country in the 20th century.

Yes, to follow up on Tonchi's line of thought:

It is a great tragedy of the 21st century that women have been placed in a position where they must stoop to consider themselves equal to the weaker sex - the male one.

Men are poor creatures handicapped from birth with XY chromosome configuration. As any biologist will tell you, the majority of the Y chromosome is null and void. The X chromosome is rich in genetic information. Men are poor creatures, half what a woman with her XX chromosome is.

An embryo with an YY chromosome make-up is not viable, for example.

Another example of this can be seen in sex linked recessive genetic conditions such as hemophilia. Hemophiliacs are almost exclusively male, thanks to the configuration of their XY chromosomes. The blood-clotting factor is carried on the X chromosome. Having two X chromosomes is a good insurance against being born with a sex linked recessive condition.

Populations of salamanders can and do dispense with the male sex completely during times of low food supplies, over-crowding or other ecological stresses. Offspring are produced through the process of parthenogenesis. When times become better, the luxury of the inferior male salamander is something that the group can afford and males will once again begin to appear in the population.

Therefore, why should men be given the right to vote? Here today and gone tomorrow. This does not make for responsible decisions at the polls.

I rest my case. :p
