You need to get together with the other misogynist who doesn't want women to vote at all. The two of you can get a hall and reform Spanky and Alfalfa's "He-Man Woman Hater's Club".
And what the hell does all that have to do with a man who wants to draft ALL womwn because he THINKS they ALL vote for warmongers?
My husband had those two magical little letters after his name that left him subject to being drafted LONG AFTER others would age out if they needed someone with his skills so I can assure you I NEVER voted for needless conflicts.
But anyone who would support a man who wants to take the vote away from ALL women because of the way SOME women vote doesn't read posts carefully.
There is misongeny. And there is misandry. That is an unfortunate fact of life -- some people ARE extremists. I suspect I am older than you and consequenty lived through the worst of the pre-first wave women's movement (which, was necessary). Girls were treated like less than dirt and everything was about the boys in the family. It wasn't surprising that women finally rose up and said "Enough!".
To give you an example -- my sister-in-law came from a very wealthy family. There were three sons and three daughters. My mother-in-law told me that her father approached my father-in-law to enquire about his will.
It seems that he intended to leave his estate to his sons only and wanted to be sure his daughter would be cared for in the manner to which she was accustomed. Thus his "solution" was to attempt to talk my father-in-law into disinheriting my husband so his daughter would still have certain perks. My father-in-law was shocked. My mother-in-law was furious.
This man was all about his SONS and expected my father-in-law to provide for his daughter by neglecting his own son. But he probably didn't want to get talked about by other people, so I bet he pulled that with his other daughter's in-laws too. That's the crux of the matter right there.
Men at the time put extreme value on boys, that they didn't on girls. We girls were there to clean house. Big thrill.
So don't crap on the concept of the woman's movement. Without it, all you would be looking forward to in your life would be time spent with the Tidy Bowl man. And Prince Charming would save you so he could introduce you to the water closets in his castle.
I have no great love for third wave feminists. They have no idea what the movement was about in the first place and whine about bullshit. We are talking genuine slavery. We are talking going to work outside the home and having the parents confiscate your paycheck if you were female, but males got to keep their check.
You really have no clue how difficult it was and how hard we fought to just be able to live like a normal human being and have some hope for a decent future.
I had three college scholarships and wasn't going to be allowed to go, until my high school homeroom teacher embarrassed my parents into letting me accept one of them.
THIS is why there was a women's movement. And it had nothing to do with the crap going on today.
So don't go supporting some misogynist who wants to chain your daughter to a toilet brush. Been there. Done that. It sucks.
Damn straight it was. I stayed home with my children and was a housewife. But to this day my husband says the quality he admired most in me was my intelligence.
And don't worry about my being a boomer. Paraphrasing the great Ronald Regan, I won't hold your youth and inexperience against you.
