Repeal the 19th Amendment

[cysoto]

It's refreshing to see that misogyny is alive and well in the 21st century...

Umm. In bible times, men were at war a lot of the time. They had several wives. The wives ran businesses for the family and themselves.

Proverbs 31:10
King James Version (KJV)

¹⁰ Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
¹¹ The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.
¹² She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.
¹³ She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.
¹⁴ She is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar.
¹⁵ She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens.
¹⁶ She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.
¹⁷ She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.
¹⁸ She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night.
¹⁹ She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.
²⁰ She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.
²¹ She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet.
²² She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple.
²³ Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.
²⁴ She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant.
²⁵ Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.
²⁶ She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.
²⁷ She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.
²⁸ Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.
²⁹ Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.
³⁰ Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth theLord, she shall be praised.
³¹ Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.


Doesn't sound like bigotry to me. Just sayin

eta: I don't support the repeal of the 19th amendment, but do think that much damage was caused to women's quality of life during ww2. Women became a large part of the work force causing more competition for jobs, eventually causing the need for most women to work outside the home and negatively impacting the historic family unit.

Have you ever played poker without using something of value as bets? It's not much fun because without skin in the game, most people play like idiots.

Davesl - My last and final comment to you: I suggest you read "Founding America-Documents from the Revolution to the Bill of Rights" before taking one snippet out of one of the many letters between John Adams and his wife.

As many men do, he was using his wife as not only a sounding board, but also for another point of view...And proposed to her the very same arguments he would hear in response to allowing women equal rights.

Doubt it.

I suggest you follow the link I posted in my last comment to you. It contains much more than the snippet I posted.
Fact is, you are completely wrong on what John Adams advocated concerning voting rights in the new Republic.

You have the greatest tool for knowledge literally at your finger-tips.
People need to question everything they were force-fed in public school and use the internet to re-learn history.

Do you think before you type?

FIFY. Willing to bet he isn't married, either.

I'll just say this, and comment no more on the subject-
If someone here thinks we should adhere completely to a book written 2,000 years ago (roughly), as written, despite all the ideas that are clearly out-of-date (owning slaves, women are 2nd class citizens, etc,) then you cannot get angry with those who want to adhere to the mind-numbing and violent rhetoric of a "prophet" from years gone by (See: Mohammad and Islam).

I see it this way- the bible is a good map, but should not be adhered to 100% and is not the end all be all say on all matters. Then again, I question and steer away from any religious zealots that are "true believers."

Some people say similar things about the 2nd amendment...
