The Curse of 1920

[Garak]

I decided to listen to Marc Rudov today (I missed it on Thursday this week) and his guest was the author of the book "The Curse of 1920", a man named Gary Naler.

Now, Mr. Naler believes that our nation has been going downhill since women gained the right to vote. He believes that a woman cannot lead men, neither in government nor in the home. He does make mention of a study as well as quotes from our founding fathers and even the Bible to back up his belief.

2 questions:

1) Do you think that women voting has led to the downfall of this nation?

2) Do you think that women should not be the head of a household or have any government power?

My opinions are not well formed on this so I will think on them and answer my questions later.

not  women  voting  per se but dumb  people in general, many  of which are women(I think there should be an anti booger eating  moron requirement in order to vote)
some women are capable, some are not, of leadership
titties or a dick do not a leader make

[Garak]

Politicians now pander almost exclusively to women. So, does that affect our laws? I would say yes.

[Mr. X]

As Ben Franklin said, the US will be OK until 51% discovers the other 49% can support them.

This is not about women. This was inevitable regardless if women voted. We had other factors like the war powers act that imposed the income tax and the federal government coming off the gold standard. Creation of the federal reserve also had a lot to do with it.

Ah yes, so politicians pandering to women is ALSO not about women, right?

I dont believe women should lose the vote but I do wish the US would indict feminists and other socialist groups for treason, sedition, conspiracy, racketeering, graft, infanticide and fraud along with any other crimes we could nail them on. Unfortunately Western women have failed to see that feminism is a marxist ploy.

This is my issue.

If women can't be trusted as leaders, then how can they be trusted as mothers?

The stats say that they can't.

The ones that report that women abuse children more than men.

[Mr. X]

I'm not going to even touch the "blame women for everything" excuse. You guys feel free but that makes me no better than feminists. Women shoukd vote. They are moral beings same as blacks and any other human. I just don't agree everything went to pot when women voted. It was probably going that way anyway.

Probably but that can't be proven can it?

If you are going to go down that road then you also have to say that men can't be trusted either since they committ the majority of murders and assaults.  This is very flimsy thinking and it is exactly that our opponents have been utilizing now for over thirty years: trying to frame all men due to the acts of a tiny fraction.  Please don't  try the same thing, saying it is flimsy is being overly nice.  Trying to tar all women due to the tiny percentage that abuse their kids is misogyny just as blaming all men due to some men's violence is misandry.

LOL, I see. One of these days you are going to have to stop playing nice.

I have my doubts about that stat.  I believe the statistic that more abuse of children is perpetrated by women than men.  I also suspect that more diamonds are stolen out of mine shafts by employee theft by men than women.  The crimes are occupation-specific.  A meaningful statistic would be number of offenders per 1000 population, by gender.
