If you think about it...
Slavery was outlawed with the ratifying of the 13th Amendment in 1865. Only 5 short years later, the 15th amendment secured the right to vote to not be based on color. Though, gender biases still kept women from having the right to vote. The 15th amendment that was ratified on February 3, 1870 provided a means for those that had been in slavery to be able to vote,
143 years ago. Now step forward
50 years to August 18, 1920 when women finally gained the right to vote in the 19th Amendment,
88 years ago.Something seems a little outta whack!
I'm not a feminist. I'm not right winged, nor left winged. But I am tired of hearing how there are classes of people that have been so oppressed for so long. I'm tired of women being termed "domineering" when all they really want is equal rights like the rest of the American citizens. Women don't have the time to be out whining and complaining about oppression. We have way to much taking up our time, like working twice as hard as the men in corporate America for 2/3 to 1/2 the pay, bearing the children, raising the children, . . . And the list goes on. And yet, there were even Republicans that were so narrow minded that they didn't support their own vice presidential candidate because she was a woman. Really now? Are you still lost in the years pre-1920?
... it's time we see a woman president. Republican, Democratic, Independent I don't believe I care which, just need to see a woman in office to make sure everyone is truly equal.
