Many agree that women should be allowed at least some voting rights on certain things, especially those related to domestic issues in the home. But when are womens’ voting rights more important than the welfare of our society—or national security?

Interestingly enough, women were first allowed to vote only when their husband’s were unable to. Presumably the idea was that they would cast an identical vote to that of their husband had he been able to cast it himself. This practice began with Mrs. Josiah Taft—or Lydia Taft as she’s known to most—when she was allowed to vote on a few local matters beginning in the year 1756. This “right” was granted to her due to the untimely and disorganized death of her husband, a prominent land owner with varied local interests that required input from his estate. Since he was already dead, they allowed the old lady to vote for him.

Though history is very kind to these events as they relate to women’s rights, it’s pretty clear to me that in reality Mrs. Taft’s participation was a complete disaster since after this initial proof-of-concept ran its course women weren’t allowed to officially vote again in the United States until 1893 when Colorado was blue-balled into submission, followed shortly after by my two spineless adopted home states: Liberal-pandering Utah and Gay-harboring Idaho.

Finally in 1920 the controversial 19th Amendment was ratified and we’ve been paying for it ever since with a seemingly endless string of vagina-sympathizing leaders starting with Warren G. Harding in 1921 (1 year after the 19th became law)—considered by most to be one of the least effective, most politically impotent presidents ever to have held office. Fortunately he died of a heart attack before he was able to do too much damage to anyone but himself.

As with many things in life, when the squeaky wheel gets lubricated nobody pays attention to it any longer. Now that women have the constitutional right to vote, nobody has stopped to see how it’s working out.

It’s time to start asking some hard questions…actually, the questions are pretty easy, let’s just ask them.

Is the world a better place now that women can vote?

Have women voted for anything that we couldn’t have voted for ourselves?

Does the time women spend voting and preparing to vote take time away from their other duties?

Are their other duties more important than voting?

What are their other duties, are some of those better performed by someone else too? Like a man?

If so, do these duties that a man is doing take time away from his other, more important duties?

Why can’t she do her duties to begin with? Men have a lot to worry about already.

The answer to these question is mostly, “no”, though some are “yes”…and a few require further elaboration. The point is that we’re no better off now than we were hundreds of years ago before anyone had even heard of Lydia Taft.

Everything that was bad before they could vote is still plaguing us. But now, we find ourselves losing some of the good things that we had prior to their being able to vote because women spend all their time voting for things, having kids without men, and taking our jobs.

It’s time to stop ignoring centuries of evidence that clearly shows that women voting simply doesn’t work. I hear a lot about a woman’s right to choose. It’s time we men exercise our own right to choose and we should choose that women can’t vote anymore.

  1. Lydia Taft was allowed a proxy vote as “the widow Josiah Taft.” This is because she was the sole representative of a substantial estate.

    Originally only land owners were granted a vote in the affairs of state. This is because they were considered “stakeholders” in the society, and as free men they could represent the good of all.

    Slaves, dependents, and servants were not allowed to vote, as their “moral obligation” would have been to their masters and not to society as a whole.

    We are not likely to return to such a state of affairs, but if we wish to continue democratic rule, we need to limit voting rights to those who, on net, pay TAXES.

    In the last presidential election, for the first time in US history, over 50% of the voters we those who took more in payments from the government than they payed in.

    “Democracy fails once the public is able to vote dry the public coffers.”
    - Senate of Rome

  2. What say we let them keep the vote, just make it sos the man can “place” the vote for the woman? No sense in her going to the voting place when a man can take care of family business.

    And say you gots a daughter of age at home what’s mooching and hasn’t found a man yet? The father “places” the vote for her.

  3. For what it’s worth Kiquer, taxes are against the constitution. I challenge you to find one place in the constitution where it says we have to pay taxes. So, if we limit the vote to those who pay taxes, only sheep will vote.

    It’s right there in black and white, you really can’t argue with science.

  4. Science strikes back…

    “The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration.”

    -Sixteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution

  5. Look, I’m not going to sit here and argue with you over semantics. There are many ways to interpret that particular passage.

    I’ve yet to see any conclusive proof that taxes are anything but totally unconstitutional.
