I never miss a vote; I think that's the power of the people. A lot of people fought and died for us to have votes, for women to have votes in particular - your vote is your one weapon.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Having the vote is just symbolic. There are still many issues on which women don't have any right and, in many countries, where women are given very very few rights.
Women risked their lives for the right to vote. When I hear people say, 'Oh, I'm not gonna vote,' I just wanna tear their heart out.
Decisions just look different with women at the table. We still have a long way to go. The most powerful thing we own is our vote.
If you care about women's rights, you can't not vote.
Voting is completely important. People in America think democracy is a given. I think of it as an ecosystem, and what gets in the way of it is politicians and apathy.
It's interesting when you read the debates in parliaments between MPs about whether they should give women a vote. It's a lot of fear; it is fear of change. It's fear if women get to vote, family structures will break down. Women will stop having children. Women won't vote for war.
As I said, I spent most of my adult life thinking I didn't have a vote, and therefore that what I thought didn't matter.
The vote means nothing to women. We should be armed.
Sensible and responsible women do not want to vote. The relative positions to be assumed by man and woman in the working out of our civilization were assigned long ago by a higher intelligence than ours.
Anything important is never left to the vote of the people. We only get to vote on some man; we never get to vote on what he is to do.
