I completely agree with both removing women’s suffrage and coupling voting rights with property ownership. I am always hesitant to admit my views on the suffrage movement, but I strongly feel that our nation made a grievous error when we allowed women many of the same “rights” as men. First off, I think that voting should be a family affair with the wife putting in her input, but the man ultimately deciding on which candidate he votes for. I think women are too emotional and often vote for the “bleeding heart liberal” cause because it feels right to them. When I tell folks my view on this they always ask if I vote. Yes, I do because my husband wants me to.

Throw another log on the fire, wash my socks and mend my old blue jeans...etc How do I fit in I'm female, lesbian, own property, should I only vote in local elections? What about my wife, does she have to vote for whom I tell her to? (Fat chance)
Yea! My first submission! She has responded today, in fact, to people commenting on this because a few liberal blogs linked to this post of hers and she noticed the extra traffic, went looking, and found comments she didn't like. It's a bit entertaining to watch her spin around trying to define "intolerance" as someone disagreeing with her on another blog completely(not even coming onto hers to troll and gripe.)

Don't miss the original "Prairie muffin manifesto" of hers here:

Would anyone like to tell her what "muffin" is slang for?
"Does your husband know you spout this shit on the net behind his back? Isn't it un'Christian' to be on the internet without his permission?"
Yep. She writes elsewhere at length how he's her overseer on teh internets.
[sarcasm]Yes, Karen, the only suitable roles for a woman are a. her husbands maid b. her husbands whore and c. her husbands baby factory.[/sarcasm]
Hmm, I always thought I was a huge, strong, bearded man, but I'm a "bleeding heart liberal." Imagine my surprise to find out I'm a woman.
Oh, I almost forgot. Karen, you're an idiot.
I have pity for this woman. She isn't saying anything that is an actual thought of her own, she's repeating what she's been taught to say. She is deeply indoctrinated, and is therefore an object of pity - not scorn. Scorn shuld be reserved for who taught her to think so little of herself.
Well she can certainly be considered a good woman... if you are a member of the Taliban or something!
I totally don't get how a woman can be opposed to women's rights. I mean... some sort of troglodyte male caveman type, there I can figure what they are thinking... Doesn't make them right, but thats just the apeman way.
But women?
But... if women can vote, and you creepy fundie slave women vote however your husbands tell you to, doesn't that mean your husbands' candidates get more votes? Why would you want to sabotage that?
Oh yeah. I forgot. Braindead.
Two words: Margaret Thatcher.
She was female, prime minister, the infamous "Iron Lady of Britain" AND a conservative! Now watch Karen's head explode.
Women own property too, ya know. At least I do; I have half a house (shared with my husband) and a fourth of a summer-house (shared with my siblings).
Why the scarequotes around 'rights'? They ARE rights, and should be universal, for all human beings, not just the ones born with one complete X cromosome and one damaged one.
I would never vote for the "bleeding heart liberal", partly because they are about as right-wing as the bleeding heart conservatives, but mostly because I'm a tough socialist; no bleeding hearts here. And yes, it feels right that people should get the medical care they NEED, not merely what they can afford, and that all kids should get the best education there is, because that's the best for society as a whole.
Sure, my husband wants me to vote too, but that's because it's more or less a democratic DUTY to vote. And, I vote for whatever parties I want, not for the ones he wants. (We have three different votes to cast; county, regional and state, and seven parties to choose from (eight if you have no problem with racism and misogyny)).

Yeah, either Stockholm Syndrome or she has Isabitchitis, the same thing Coulter's got."
Damn but I'm slow this morning. I was just about to Google "Isabitchitis" when it finally sunk in.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
