He also thinks parents should get to cast more votes, one for each kid. I wonder which parent will get to cast those votes in his worldview…?

That's what I'm talking about. Does each parent get to vote for each kid, which could mean two votes per kid? Or does just the father get to vote since women shouldn't be voting anyhow. 🤬

What about foster parents? Or adoptive parents? Or grandparents raising grandchildren? Do fathers in prison get extra votes for their children? Aunts and uncles who raise the children of their siblings after tragedies? What about when teens have children? Do their parents get even more votes than before? Honestly, the possibilities are endless. And finally, do child-less men still vote?

Just the father votes of course: as women must be disenfranchised, and children are not old enough. Property ownership will probably become necessary too, for even men to qualify to vote. Turning the clock back around 100 years. And, in any case, Donald Trump (if he wins) will "fix things so good" that people need never vote again -- except in sham elections.

The Father. The children a wife are subsumed into his control. That's how it was in the good old days. Everything the woman owned became his, including her paycheck, her body, her kids. And he could spend it all and dump her in a asylum, or abandon her, or beat her to death. And he could have mistresses or whatever. She couldn't buy a car or house or get a credit card or open a bank account without a Father, Brother or Husband. Voting? Are you kidding? Women died trying to get the vote.

And we intend to keep it. We outnumber them. They know it and there are more guns than people. The voting booth is the preferred method. Putin wants Trump or a civil war.

But we aren’t going back.
