Very sad how these two very well-meaning and important causes were pitted against one another.

Women did not want to vote because they believed that Rights come with attendant responsibilities. When they get drafted into war they should be allowed to decide what government we have but not before then.

[@whateverman2674]

YES. people think they have a right to do this and do that but they dont want the responcibility that comes with it. rights comes with responcibility. it's not an entitlement.

[@MetaspireLLC]

Maybe you can time travel and be a woman at that time with no rights ( your value only being a baby maker) and see how you like it? In my understanding of history male leaders historically create more wars than women leaders. Women uphold peace treaties more than our male counterparts, women leaders are often called into distressed companies to help them be more profitable, women leaders in Canada and Finland during covid were praised for their collaborative efforts. We know by now countries and organizations do better when there is reflective leadership. We need good men and women in leadership and voting.

Women always talk about having the rights of men, but not the responsibilities. Not long after Seneca Falls came the Civil War. Incredible 800,000 young men were killed in that war. Hundreds of thousands more were wounded and suffered loss of limbs. Did women demand a right to fight and die in the war? Fast forward to the last war in which men were compelled to fight in: Vietnam. Over 58,000 men died in that war, versus six women. Men went to great extremes to avoid that jungle. They escaped to Canada, or intentionally gave themselves a gunshot wound. By the end of our participation, Vietnam had descended into madness, with young American soldiers intentionally killing poor women and children in villages. By murdering their own officers. What "rights" would women have given up avoiding being sent to the jungles of Vietnam?

[@destinylazore3946]

LOL women were working in the factories keeping the American economy alive during the war! goodbye

[@MetaspireLLC]

Equal doesn’t mean the same. Men born at birth can’t have babies. Most good women are natural born visionaries and collaborators causing us to influence less war and more peace although we often forget to credit ourselves for these things. In my experience women don’t want to dominate men we make up 51% of the population and in the US over half of the workforce. However unconscious bias and ignorance around different styles of leadership still cause us to address the broken rung and the glass ceiling with grace. Women do better and make more money when we have an inner circle of allies who also believe in our value.

[@BlurrySyrup-ts4oz]

women HAVE been trying to fight in wars its you guys who have been stopping them 😭

[@theatrain1323]

@@BlurrySyrup-ts4oz You have just re-stated Joseph Heller’s classic “Catch 22.” Any woman who wishes that she had been among the Marines who experienced the most primitive instincts of kill or be killed on the hellish atoll of Iwo Jima would be totally bereft of her senses, and being thus, the Marines would never have accepted her. 😎 We heard so much about the staunch resolution of a united Ukraine to repel the Russian invaders, only years later to learn from the BBC that over 650,000 men had illegally fled the country to avoid combat. No, women are not mad, and only the mad would want to lift themselves out of their trenches to charge entrenched machine guns while artillery shells exploded all around them.

Women did not have to get married. Why did they if it was so terrible?

The answer is economics.
