Repeal the 19th Amendment

In honor of Ann Barnhardt's new web page format, I thought I'd post this classic.

From: http://www.barnhardt.biz/the-one-abo...mens-suffrage/

...
Here’s the deal. Up until women’s suffrage, a man was the head of his marriage and his household, and his vote represented not just himself but his entire family, including his wife and his children. When men voted, they were conscious of the fact that they were voting not just for themselves and their own personal interests, but they were also charged with the responsibility of discerning and making the ultimate decision about what was in the best interests of their entire family. Wow. Isn’t that nuts? Men being . . . responsible?

As soon as the 19th amendment was passed, men were effectively castrated, and in many, many cases disenfranchised by their wives. No longer was the man the head of the household. No longer was he responsible for his wife. Now the wife was a “co-husband” at best, or a flat-out adversary at worst. The notion of a man making the final decision about what was best for his wife and family per his God-given vocation as husband and father was now over. Now all he was good for was bringing home the bacon – but even that wouldn’t last.
...

Yes, this is what I believe - or else I would not have posted it.

Shallow at best.

I view anyone with this belief as having 1 or 2 possible issues in life -

1. They hate women. Not that they're homsexual, but in that they view women as an accessory to their life. Or rather, an object if you will.
2. They don't do so well with the ladies and they could really use a nudge like this to force a poor, helpless woman without rights under their roof.

I know plenty of Christian couples where both work, both *gasp* vote, and yet the husband is still the head of the household. And with that role and understanding, the husband makes pleasing his wife in all regards the point of his existence. It's a two-way street and it works well if one of the two isn't a dead-beat.

Further, if you're with a spouse, partner, or whatever else and they're voting differently than you - you're doing it wrong.

I also find it entertaining that the author mentions his dislike of Sharia Law and yet advocates stripping women of their rights.

In closing, I would say that you can't fix stupid, but I don't believe that is applicable here. I will, however, say that you can correct fucked up values and beliefs with therapy.

Repeal of the 19th sure would make it easier to keep them ornery she-devils under control though, wouldn't it?

This is even worthy of serious discussion?

Nope... unless you're a muslim and believe your wife should "dress modestly" and have no say in society. [Bang]

I like Ann but she is dead wrong on this.

I am fairly certain you posted without reading the article cited above.
I am also fairly certain you have not spent much time studying the Bible; specifically what it teaches in regards to roles of men and women, husbands and wives.
Therefore, your uninformed opinion holds little weight.

I do not understand why people do not recognize the differences between men and women, and instead, pass laws to suppress this obvious fact. Truly amazes me how many people go along with it. Just one more sign of society's downfall.

This article is a horrific example of using religion to forward suppression of another human being. The site it's from has no credibility as far as I can tell is nothing more than someone's personal diatribes. This is internet garbage at best. Why one would post it, much less promote it, is revolting.

BTW, the roles defined in the bible are, oh lets see, 2000 years outdated. What is this, some form of christian whahhabism?

No, I read it. My neck got tired from shaking my head, too.

Guilty as charged! I've read it a few times front to back, and I've spent plenty of time having others explain to me what it means to them, but I keep seeming to miss the 'studying' part. The whole reading between the lines thing to get what I want out of it just doesn't jive with me.

I definitely recognize the differences between men and women. I really, REALLY have come to recognize the differences over the years. And with the differences, I've also come to recognize the similarities. One that stands out the most is the desire to be FREE. Free to chose their own destiny, free to make their own decisions, and free to be safe from the likes of you.

It serves no point to discuss the differences between men and women, before being able to acknowledge the difference between men and other men.

Also, anyone else ever notice that the twist top on traditionally "girl beers" are significantly more difficult to twist off than every "non-girl beer?" Any Mikes Hard or Smirnoff I've encountered is always three times more difficult to open than any regular ole lager twist off. C'est la vie.
