Absurd objections to women voting

11 Unbelievable Justifications Men Used To Keep Women From Voting

What might surprise you is that some of the arguments against women's suffrage came from females themselves. Large groups of women organized and protested against the suffrage movement, believing that if women became involved in politics, they would ignore their domestic duties.

I'll list them.

1. If Women Vote, The Human Race Will End -- from not having children.
2. Women Are Too Emotional To Be Responsible Voters
3. Women Shouldn’t Get The Vote Because Men Would Have To Hear Them Talk More
4. Women’s Sole Patriotic Contribution Should Be To Raise Sons
5. Women Don’t Need To Vote Because Men Will Always Vote With Their Interests In Mind
6. Women Don’t Need To Vote Because They Already Have Everything They Want
7. Women Are Too Delicate To Engage In Politics
8. The Voting Polls Are Not Fit For Women
9. If Women Get The Vote, Men Might Lose Respect For Them
10. Women's Suffrage Will Emasculate Men -- by challenging men's authority in their homes
11. If Women Vote, Families Will Suffer -- from interfering with these women's domestic duties

About #10: Extending the voting franchise to women certainly challenged men's authority in their homes - at last.

Are you too stupid to vote too, or are you the exception?

I am the exception of course. Did you even need to ask? Unfortunately there is no-one decent to vote for.

I always partially see my vote as a giant FUCK YOU! to all those who would have prevented me from voting due to being a woman.

So there are exceptions.

On a pro rata basis, do you think there are fewer among women?

Oh yes. There is one exception for males (me) and none for women. So there are indeed fewer among women.
