repealing the 19th amendment us constitution
The idea came to me, noting my adversity to feminist issues, to query the possible repeal of the 19th amendment. I was not too surprised to discover that others had the same idea before me. I googled the above key words and found a treasure trove!
"...Polemics (pronounced /pəˈlɛmɪks/, /poʊ-/) is the practice of disputing or controverting religious, philosophical, or political matters. As such, a polemic text on a topic is often written specifically to dispute or refute a position or theory that is widely viewed to be beyond reproach..."
I guess, like Ms. Coulter, one might refer to the ole Amicus as a 'polemicist?'

Ann Coulter wants to repeal the 19th Amendment
Now why would Ann Coulter want to do that? And many of you are probably asking, "what is the 19th Amendment." The 19th Amendment gave women the right to vote.

"...The Nineteenth Amendment caused government spending to skyrocket, which converted the United States, its Constitution, and its Bill of Rights, into a totalitarian state. Professor John Lott of the Law School University of Chicago proved statistically that it was women's suffrage, and nothing else, which caused this unbridled government growth. Spending too much for government destroyed private property rights, plunged the US into huge debts and destroyed Personal Savings. Professor Lott demonstrated that the reason the increase in federal expenditures resulting from the First World War didn't return to its previous historic level was due solely to the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment in 1921. This unbridled government growth is why one third of the men in the world who are behind bars are American men, why an American man is 1,000 times more likely than a Japanese or an Italian or a Greek man to be convicted of rape, why more Americans per capita are incarcerated for just drinking and driving than Japanese are for all crimes combined even though a non-drinking woman driver is five times more likely to have a fatal accident than a drinking man driver, why existing adultery and sodomy laws are not upheld, and why the US is the only industrialized nation with a negative Personal Savings rate..."
There are many more 'polemical' arguments one might offer: Abortion is one, a large one, female politicians who vote for 'women's issues', judges, government clerks, teachers, librarians, all of whom influence society by their choices and advocacies. One might suggest also that the frantic concern with animal rights, pristine nature, ecological conservation and preservation is also indicative of the feminine influence on society.
I refer you back to my essay of some years ago on this forum, "The Feminine Mistake!"
Just how much of a benefit has over 80 years of female participation in political affairs provided?
Ahem....now be fair and honest and yes, those words do have absolute, unchanging definitions...
