Oh goody. An entire freeper thread bemoaning that women got the vote

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2866047/posts


The gender gap in presidential politics is not new. Democratic candidates have gotten more support from women than men for more than 30 years. Even so, Barack Obama’s advantages among women voters over his GOP rivals are striking.

In the Pew Research Center’s most recent national survey, conducted March 7-11, Obama led Mitt Romney by 20 points (58% to 38%) among women voters.

So much for family fan Willard appealing to women voters. Of course this is from Pew.

As my political mentor Mary Jane Hollyday said about the earlier days of this Republic, “you all had the right thing going...women and %*^^@#s should have stayed out of it”.

Is it still all about the smile?

Yep.

The 19th Amendment was the turning point in the history of the US. After that, government just got bigger and bigger and more intrusive... because women kept up the drumbeat for more, more, more, more.

It isn’t just the US, BTW. If you can read German or French, check out some of the writing on this topic in Switzerland. Same results. Women want government to be their Sugar Daddy. There are, of course, exceptions, but where we’re talking about the majority of women... they like their Sugar Daddy big and intrusive.

My own daughter warned me about this when she was in high school, a good conservative as I raised her. I tried to defend the 19th Amendment by pointing out smart girls such as her. She retorted that the airheads in her class had her kind outnumbered at least 2-1.

Separate this into “married” and “single/divorced” and you’ll see where the problem lies.

Women are wired to seek a provider and protector, and if it’s not their father or husband, they look to the government.

She was widowed at age 31,with 2 kids,in the 1930s.

Worked hard,retired at 70---never remarried.

Died at age 91.

Need a man? I think not.

My grandmother's story is similar.

She raised three kids on her own during the depression after losing her husband. She worked and retired from the department of Agriculture. She didn't need a man either. We all loved her and miss her today...

I love how "good conservative" women disparage other women and think the world would be better if they couldn't vote or have equal pay and society went back to the days when they were considered property completely dependent on a man to house and care for them yet at the same time have the gall to think liberal women are lazy freeloaders who want government to care for them.

I did NOT think this thread was written by a liberal impersonating a conservative on FR.

Every time one of those nitwits goes on tv they say something about repealing another amendment.

From reading some of the comments they made over there, all it proves is that there are several kids making comments to that forum while there is a radon leak in the basement of their mom's house.
