Although this question is football related, the majority of female respondents point to his good looks, omit to mention ANYTHING about his ability as a player & gloss over his cheating ways.

It explains why Blair retained power. Despite the fact that most of the population despise him - women who hate him still vote for him because he's 'prettier' than the opposition!

On this basis, I say that womens' right to vote is an affront to democracy & should be withdrawn immediately!

I'm seeing a lot of abuse here, but very few valid opposing arguments... further fuel for my fire????

how many of you have even checked out that link ???

Ann... very few western men FORCE women to have children - it's something they CHOOSE to do.

Hey! good point Kathy059 - I'll make an exception & let you vote - as long as it's 4 me ;)

Answer 1

For America? DEFINATELY! Ever since women have had the right the DEMS manipulate their base emotions to vote for them!
Without men, women are loss and will unfortunately make the mistake to vote DEMONcratic!

Answer 2

No, I don't think giving the right to vote to women was a bad idea. However I do know that giving the responsibility of suffrage to every one breathing(or not in some precincts) was absolute folly. You see, in the beginning,only men who held assets, such as land, or business, could cast a vote. This is a sound idea when you think about it. Who better to guard the purse strings than someone who has much to loose if the government were to become fiscally irresponsible.The government of the county state or nation respectively, had people actually watching what they were doing,therefore they really had no choice but to follow the law of the land in their decision making,that being the Constitution,of course. In this modern day where women have more rights than ever, I'd see no harm in letting those with assets,shared or not with a spouse,hold suffrage as well.

Answer 3

No...the womens vote got Clinton elected. He was the most popular candidate with women in years. Crab all you want to, they got the right to vote a long time ago, they excersise that right and vote for whomever they choose. Get used to it. Your life would be much more livable if you'd ask different questions. There are alot of women on this service. Just trying to save you some trouble, (and a lot of negative e-mails)


I TOLD YOU>>>>READ ALL OF THEM< AND GOOD LUCK SON!

Answer 4

Women should have more rights than you men. We give birth to babies. Men can't do that. So, as far as I'm concern Men should have less rights. A lot of the men that have ran our country sucked. Let a woman in there and see how much better we can run it.

Answer 5

Number one, men didn't give us the right to vote, we earned it. Number two, they shouldn't have given your mother the right to give birth to you. DUMMY. And that goes for anyone who agrees with you. And as for you Mister Truth, you didn't even spell definitely right. It's not spelled with an a! But I'm sure you'd know alot about a's, seeing as how you are one. Go back to school dummy.

Answer 6

I say that DUMBASSES' right to vote is an affront to democracy & should be withdrawn immediately!

Kisses, you son of a *****!

Answer 7

Only to the ones that don't take the time to understand the issues. But that applies to men too.

Answer 8

And poor people who are uninformed should not be allowed to vote either.

Ooops, there goes the Democratic party.

Answer 9

Well, they gave idiots like you the right to vote, did they not? Nothing else needs saying.

Answer 10

You can shove that up your butt. Some women, just like some men, are drawn in by looks, but that doesn't mean all of them are.
