Why Men Shouldn't Have The Vote
Why Men Shouldn't Have The Vote
1) | Because men are too emotional to vote. Their conduct at baseball games and political conventions shows this, while their innate tendancy to appeal to force renders them particularly unfit for the task of government. |
2) | Because no really manly man wants to settle any question otherwise than by fighting about it. |
3) | Because a man's place is in the Army. |
4) | Because men will lose their charm if they step out of their natural sphere and interest themselves in other matters than feats of arms, uniforms and drums. |
5) | Because if men should adopt peacable methods, women will no longer look up to them. |
