We reasoned that the men would find it difficult to vote against the women in their home states when a woman was sitting with them making laws.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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.
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 ought to be fully guarded by law in all rights of property, labor, profession, etc.; but, roughly stated, the voting population ought to represent the fighting population.
Up until 1920, women couldn't vote. Until 1974, married women couldn't get their own credit cards or, in some cases, their own loans. Basically, the husband's professional, social, and economic identity covered the individual identity of the wife.
It would be a much better country if women did not vote. That is simply a fact. In fact, in every presidential election since 1950 - except Goldwater in '64 - the Republican would have won, if only the men had voted.

We women of America tell you that America is not a democracy. Twenty million women are denied the right to vote.
A lot of men in politics suddenly woke up to the issue of women in politics when they realised: hey, there are votes in this!
Clever and attractive women do not want to vote; they are willing to let men govern as long as they govern men.
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.
