I mean I know it is supposedly 'fair' (the logic isn't really that good to show this anyway).. but if single women hardly ever vote the way I think is sensible and if married women vote the same way as their husbands most of the time anyway, then it is in what I consider the country's best interests that they don't vote right?

So by what reasoning am I to support women voting?

You don't give married women enough credit for learning from experience. If they vote more like their husbands, it might just happen to be the case that a committed relationship has taught them that conventional academic wisdom was wrong about men, and that parenting has taught them that caring about the welfare of loved ones can be more fulfilling than obsessing on self-indulgence and self-righteousness. Parenting places an undisputably and entirely innocent being in one's care, and there are very few people so selfish that they don't grow somewhat in this position of responsibility. This isn't to say that all single women are self-absorbed, but only that marriage and parenting force responsibilities onto people that can be avoided by singles, and thereby force them to consider values that singles don't have to think about.
___Maybe a better approach would be to raise the voting age. At least that would be a fair way to minimize the "immaturity" vote.

It takes no "stable judgment" to adhere to the type, my irrational little sweetheart, even even with the undeniable fact that human beings such as you will constantly discover it too complicated. You DO understand that single women human beings persons vote greater oftentimes than single grownup adult males, proper?? If married couples balloting an identical way is so important, why do no longer we in uncomplicated terms refuse grownup adult males's proper to vote? would not that income an identical result? this is observed as a democracy for a reason. African-persons very incredibly often vote democrat, do you oppose their balloting rights? What approximately older persons, who've a bent to vote conservative? is this approximately balloting rights in any admire, or in uncomplicated terms women human beings persons??

It takes no "logic" to follow the Constitution, my irrational little sweetheart, although people like you will always find it too challenging. You DO know that single women vote more often than single men, right?? If married couples voting the same way is so significant, why don't we just refuse MEN's right to vote? Wouldn't that achieve the same effect?

It's called a democracy for a reason.
African-Americans almost always vote democrat, do you oppose their voting rights?
What about older Americans, who tend to vote conservative?
Is this about voting rights at all, or just women??

Just because single women don't always agree with you, doesn't mean you shouldn't support them voting. Think of it this way, we live in a free country that represents it's majority (or at least that is the impression it likes to give). Since women are a part of that majority, you should want their input to know that your government is supposedly doing its job.

reasoning can support any argument, including this one, but to carry that a bit further, if we elect our officials and are 7th in the world in terms of medical care, education, and adjusted real income, and the 6 better than us are all constitutional monarchies, - all true facts according to the U.N. Human Index Report - doesn't it make sense to find the right person, make him our king and only vote for the representative that would represent us in dealing with our king?
The best interest of the country, aside from throwing out all of those presently in office who are listening to their lobbyist rather than those who put them into office, is best served by those people who vote for what is right and who will try to vote for those who will do what is right. If these various groups vote for a way that you think wrong - the single women and the women who vote the way their husbands do - and they win, it is the shame if they are wrong, and if your group wins and they are wrong, either way this country is usually wrong, and the evidence for that is the fact that George Bush is still in office despite having the lowest approval rating among voters in American History.

Its sad that you feel you are better than the woman who brought you into this world. Women have minds just like you, you shouldnt stereotype them, and I am sure that not EVERY woman votes against you.
In this case however, any woman voting against you, would be the right vote, because you are lost in a time that has moved on with this topic. Women can vote, and there is nothing, you as a single man, can do about it.

The mere fact that "women vote" is absurd because in reality "all adults should vote" regardless of gender. OK?!! Gosh, what a quest-ion. Therefore much less realistic is your quest-ion about married or single women. In fact, more women than men vote unselfishly for the greater good than men do. Take a deep breath, ...

The irony of that notion of women "canceling out" their husbands' votes is that White men basically allowed the 19th Amendment and women's right to vote in an effort to keep other men down, Black men. When Black men got the right to vote, White men panicked, finally allowed the 19th Amendment to pass with intentions of using their wives' votes to "double-up" the White vote against issues Blacks favored, and slapped "literacy tests" on Blacks to keep their uneducated women away from the polls. Thank goodness for democracy that women, Black and White, vote the way they want to and "canceled out" that little corruption of the concept of a free and democratic vote.

I hope your ready for all the blasts feminists (and anti-feminists) are going to give you.

Anyway, I can see the point your trying to make, and though I don't agree with it, at the moment I can not think of a way to counter it real well.

Although I must say, not every man votes the same way you do, and I know of some couples that have different political views so...

women voting the same as their husbands is an archaic concept. most women have a mind of their own these days, and they will vote as they please. especially the younger generations.

given the fact that not all women vote the same as their husbands. taking away the womens vote, would be essentially forcing those that dont, to follow their husbands. aka. taking away their choice.

you should support women voting for the same reason as women should support men voting. each and evy person has a right to voice their opinion and partake in the electional process. it wouldnt truely be democracy if it didnt.
