Should Women Be Allowed To Vote? They May Not Understand Politics Correctly?

Should women be allowed to vote?

I believe they should be but only once they have passed some sort of test to establish they have some intelligence.

They get a little confused with systems, politics etc and certain times of the month they may not be thinking straight.

Why the hell is it sexest??? I didnt say they can't vote!!!

Most men follow politics closely and have a keen interest but most women don't! FACT!

For me it makes more sense that the women who would like to vote should show they actually know what policies they are voting for by means of a short test.

At least then we know that the women who have voted may have half a clue what they're actually voting for.

Please sir, don't make such a statement in public! On what grounds do you base your "facts" that most men follow politics closely and most women don't? I've seen women who, whilst taking care of 4 kids and a husband, are active political leaders and are doing the job just as good as (or even better than) any odd man. Next, you'll be telling me men are averagely more intelligent than women. If anything, it is at "certain times of the month" that we understand things more as then, we begin to see things we ordinarily wouldn't have seen before!

Besides, what is so difficult to understand about politics? Isn't it a thing of interest? The official voting age in Scotland is 16. And children younger than 16 can vote if they show considerabe interest in politics. I can guarantee you that some of these under 16-year-old females can make more rational decisions than several 50-year-old full fledged men!!!

When I first married, I was surprised to hear my new bride opine that if she voted, her vote would cancel mine as we had differing ideas (hers a bit ill thought through and emotional), and therefore she shouldn't vote.

At the time, I didn't agree, and urged her to go ahead and vote.

But, does a wife's vote negate that of her husband's?

I wonder?

Also the negative comments from some of the women are proving that you are too controlled by emotions. This thread is to provoke thought and you respond with anger!

Who is more sentimental? Someone who gives their honest opinion on a topic that interests them, or someone who suggets that the entire genderfolk should be screened before voting just because he thinks his new wife's reasons for voting are flawed?

You judge.

deathadder i can see that u care about this country. 46 years of decision making by men. Lets not argue on gender lines but if u asked me who's effort i could easily recognize in Obj's govt, i'll waste no time in pointing out NAFDAC's Dora Akunyili and Okonjo-Iweala. Unfortunately Okonjo Iweala was not allowed to finish her good work by a Govt filled with day dreaming sycophants who unfortunately happened to be "this type of humans who have something long or short dangling between their legs". Men, I guess. Deathadder forget it, and get real with yourself.

Most car accidents are made by men.
Men Drink and drive.
I think that a man must go for a test once a year to check his Alcohol and agression level.
I think men should only be allowed to drive as from the age of 30.
And till they are 40 only cars with low Horsepower

You're the sort that fears strong, independent women!  Shocked How did you collate your stats for your sexist opinion? Don't women have brains too? Next, you'll be telling me Condoleezza Rice is an idiot!  Angry

I clean my house, and why not? If my lady's not home, do you expect me to wait till she gets home before household chores are done?

What would you do? Actually, you don't have to tell me - you'll wait till your wife gets home, and in the meantime, live in a pigsty!  Shocked

Shocking.
