Jeannie DeAngelis: Maybe It’s Time We Girls Get Real About the 19th Amendment

The American Spectator 

"I can’t help but wonder what Susan B. Anthony and the other suffragists would think of a voting bloc that, because of politics, mocks the Christian widow of a murdered man while lionizing, defending, and making excuses for a mother who systematically took her children’s lives

"After subjecting myself in the 1980s to grueling covered-dish-and-quilting gatherings, where women assembled in church basements to do womanly things and discuss matters I found spectacularly banal, 40 years have done little to change my opinion that granting women the right to vote did nothing to improve the American electorate.

"Politically incorrect, certainly. I always have been. Harsh, perhaps. But after nearly half a century of observation, I believe it. And I’m a woman who, hopefully, applies logic, truth, and common sense to my opinions — three attributes that seem to be lacking among the pink-clad sorority sisters.

"I’m sure that in 1920, when American women secured the constitutional right to vote, few could have imagined what female participation — or the political exploitation of women as a voting bloc — would eventually devolve into: dead fetuses, children socially transitioning at age six, and women defending a woman who, for whatever reason, killed her three babies while her husband was out procuring takeout.

"Many were motivated by religious conviction, abolitionism, temperan
ce, family responsibility, and the belief that women’s participation would elevate the moral character of public life. Sadly, modern society has molded women into something those who fought for their right to vote wouldn’t recognize.

"It’s difficult to imagine the suffragettes foresaw female political participation devolving into identity-driven voting, where “the right to choose” too often means choosing emotion over intellect, respect for the dignity of life, and the country’s betterment.

"Thus, America now grapples with a constitutional amendment that has transformed gender into a political constituency whose influence appears to be undermining, rather than contributing to, the nation’s stability. More dangerously, political judgment has become an emotional extension of female wiles rather than a civic responsibility grounded in knowledge and reason." . . .

"It pains me to say this, but it may be time to truly ask ourselves if we really want to see a woman president, or perhaps an administration filled with women. It wouldn't surprise me to see a “progressive” woman president dressed in a pink hijab and wearing a facial mask speaking from the Oval Office."
