Girls are allowed to cry and cower, because it is cute, and we gentlemen are supposed to protect them.
But women and naturally less suited for war and conflict than men. If the vote were restricted solely to men, perhaps the public debate over public laws would make fighting wars and fighting crime its primary, or even its only, order of business. Perhaps all these other things, housecleaning the environment, mothering the poor, schoolmarming the schools, would be done privately, not by the government.
Perhaps if women did not vote, they could see to the environment, the schools, and the poor through the institutions of the Church, which are better suited to charitable activity and feminine compassion than the hard and harsh swords and balances of townhall.
The Nanny State only exists in nations where all the Nannies were given a vote.

Give me 5 minutes with this fuckoo and I`ll guarantee you he`ll be changing his mind in a jeffy.And unlike some ladies I`m no boxer, no sportswoman and my job experience is mostly programming(all I`ve got is some experience in street fighting but for a fuckclown like him, I bet I`ll manage).
equal rights to women lead to improvement in the welfare and education system, and protection of the environment? and to more peaceful society which solve crimes with better methods than harsh punishment and militarized police?
"But women and [sic] naturally less suited for war and conflict than men. If the vote were restricted solely to men, perhaps the public debate over public laws would make fighting wars and fighting crime its primary, or even its only, order of business."
John C. Wright, you are a sad, miserable, pathetic, cynical, authoritarian blathering wiseacre, a witless pseudo-intellectual, a stunted degenerate soul incapable of compassion, goodness, creativity or wisdom, or to recognise it in others, utterly convinced that everyone is as evil at the core as he is, a bigotted hypocrite who sees his alledged religion as nothing but a tool to control the masses, a lowly excuse of a human being. You are below contempt, even below pity. When you die, whatever may happen to your cadaver will be a great improvement, for on the inside, you are already dead, shrivelling and rotten.
@Some Guy Passing Through: Agreed very much.
Someone, regardless of gender, cowering and crying isn't cute; it's painful to watch and makes me want to stop them crying, preferably by helping them in some manner and/or hurting whomever is making them cry.

You say that like it's a good thing.

I bet Johnny votes Republican.
"The Nanny State only exists in nations where all the Nannies were given a vote."
No, it also exists in nations where the ninnies who want a nanny are allowed to vote. So we have the Republic party in the US.
Yeah, as I suspected, Camilla Cameo is John C. Wright.
"Cute" is for little girls. "Cowering" is for females whose husband beats them, and is absolutely NOT cute. LIFE is for real women. I really doubt that taking a half-hour a year to vote is disrupting the other sickening "women's-work-as-defined-by-a-fundie-man" list of chores.
Sure, next time there's an environmental catastrophe and all your water goes bad, or your neighborhood becomes a superfund site, just call out the Ladies' (or Men's) Church Auxiliary.
"Perhaps if women did not vote, they could see to the environment, the schools, and the poor through the institutions of the Church, which are better suited to charitable activity and feminine compassion than the hard and harsh swords and balances of townhall."
Considering a lot of fundamentalist churches in America I doubt this would work.
Fundie churches believe that the rapture is imminent so looking after the environment isn't exactly going to be their top priority.
Education in fundie Churches is likely to be limited at best. More like training children to parrot Right Wing talking points rather than actually educating themselves.
And since when do fundie churches give a fuck about the poor. In their eyes, poverty is the outcome of sloth.
Even if women didn't have the right to vote the men in office would still pursue other issues besides war and crime.
Housecleaning the environment, mothering the poor, schoolmarming the schools and "Nanny" State- Equivocation Fallacy.
The government does these things because private groups wouldn't
No the church is not a substitute for taking care of people, for several reasons:
...and said 'Nannies' worked in the munitions factories in WWI. Did even more in WWII. [/Rosie the Riveter]
If a woman can wield a spanner, it's not she who'll be cowering, o John C...:

It doesn't make for a good FSTDT submission, but John recently made another post that I find amusing where he yet again arrogantly sounds off on a subject that he knows absolutely nothing about.

"Ever since Pascal, people have had a confused notion of what probability is. He was asked by a Chevelier de Mere, a gentleman gambler, about the odds of wining at dice. Instead of telling him that math cannot predict outcomes, only aggregate outcomes, Pascal developed a mathematical way of expressing in how many trials out of a hundred a certain set of results out of a given set of possible results would obtain.
[...]
Probability is when you express that number of results out of a hundred trials in terms of percent, that is, the number of times out of a hundred.
That is what probability is. That is all it is."

I like the British example, where said Nannies basically helped Britain win World War II. Oh wait, you wouldn't find that to be a good thing, I forgot...
Actually the European welfare state predates universal suffrage in most Western European nations.
The model of the modern welfare state, after all, was created by Otto Von fucking Bismark. I believe the consensus of history is that he was something of a manly man. I'm also fairly sure the nannies of the German Empire had little to no suffrage rights... unless there were more males over the age of 25 employed as nannies in 19th century Germany than I thought.
Mr. Wright is wrong again. It must be one of those days that end in "day"...
What's so cute about red eyes and flushed cheeks? Protect, against what/whom?
Perhaps if men didn't vote, there would be no wars, fighting nor crimes. Or, ya know, not.
Women don't vote in the Islamic State; why not move there, Mr. Wrong?

Not only that, he also was a staunch conservative monarchist and had an impressive moustache!

And yet, if he lived today and would try to implement the same things in the USA as he did in Germany 150 years ago, they would call him a communist
Crying and cowering are the tactics of the powerless. How patronising of you to say they 'look cute'. Voting gives everyone actual democratic rights.
If you don't like it, go back to the Victorian Era. Oh and get Nanny to spank you.
@TimeToTurn
That pesky Lord Voldemort was certainly dealt with by an entire 'Gawd Bloimey!' of Mary Poppinses ('Poppinsi'? 'Poppinsae'? 'Poppinsopodes'?! X3 ) in the opening ceremony of the 2012 London Olympics which also included one aspect of our welfare state: the National Health Service.
So there's something to be said about Nannies , Johnny-boy.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
