Thread: . . . Michigan House Candidate Is Fine With Women Not Being Able To Vote

Republican Michigan House candidate John Gibbs made have beaten his primary opponent, who had voted to impeach Trump. Still, his prior actions in the early 2000s will make for many conversations heading into the midterms.

According to CNN, Gibbs started a think tank during his time at Stanford University, the Society for the Critique of Feminism. In this organization, the house candidate reportedly argued against women’s right to vote and pushed the belief that “men were smarter than women because they are more likely to “think logically about broad and abstract ideas to deduce a suitable conclusion without relying upon emotional reasoning.”

The website also claims women don’t have “the characteristics to govern” and blame the 19th amendment for the “uncontrollable size of the government.

“Some argue that in a democratic society, it is hypocritical or unjust for women, who are 50% of the population, not to have the vote,” Gibbs’ website read. “This is obviously not true, since the founding fathers, who understood liberty and democracy better than anyone, did not believe so. In addition, all people under age 18 cannot vote, although they too comprise a significant portion of the population. So we cannot say that women should be able to vote simply because they are a large part of the population.”

The Society for the Critique of Feminism had also gone on to endorse many anti-feminist organizations. Specifically, they highlighted Father’s Manifesto, which started a petition to repeal the 19th amendment. A spokesperson for Gibbs’ campaign Anne Marie Schieber spoke to CNN and immediately tried to do damage control . . .

Trump Endorsed Michigan House Candidate Is Fine With Women Not Being Able To Vote (yahoo.com)

We don't let dogs and children vote, why should we let women? But that doesn't matter, now that they do vote it's easy for politicians to manipulate them into voting for communism and the hive mentality, meanwhile we run for hills to save ourselves!

Ha, they were sure to include a reference to Trump in the headline. I note that they went into the Wayback Machine to pull up that Society for the Critique of Feminism page from 22 years ago. No indication that Gibbs has made modern statements about it. That page no longer exists.

They're digging up stuff for the mid-terms, acknowledging that Gibbs is ahead of his opponent.

Too bad certain ones...cough-cough*Wretched Gretchen*cough-cough are allowed to be governor.

That's one difference between men and women; men are logical and women are emotional. I learned that from my dad.
