VI. Conclusion
Giving women the right to vote significantly changed American politics from the very beginning. Despite claims to the contrary, the gender gap is not something that has arisen since the 1970s. Suffrage
coincided with immediate increases in state government expenditures and revenue, and these effects continued growing as more
women took advantage of the franchise. Similar changes occurred
at the federal level as female suffrage led to more liberal voting records for the state’s U.S. House and Senate delegations. In the Senate, suffrage changed voting behavior by an amount equal to almost
20 percent of the difference between Republican and Democratic
senators. Suffrage also coincided with changes in the probability that
prohibition would be enacted and changes in divorce laws. We were
also able to deal with questions of causality by taking advantage of
the fact that while some states voluntarily adopted suffrage, others
where compelled to do so by the Nineteenth Amendment. The con-

Hi Stuck, yep back, just figured out I’m done with it. Maybe.
@El, I don’t know what happened but you have been showing more enlightened comments recently. I have noticed and hope you believe what you say. Thanks for trying to reason with him.
@gm, endurance contest indeed. Long story but the gist is I’m here, can’t leave now without hurting my wee one, and I no longer think it will matter one way or the other when the shit hits the fan. Best laid plans and all that.
As for Lez violence, Jim doesn’t have the storage space for me to use to fill up with the MILLIONS of instances of Husband on Wife terror that ends in death, or hospital stays and messed up children.
Of course, all that terror is, obviously, blessed by God and forgiven immediately. We should only worry about the homosexual terror. I bet it wasn’t that long ago that we should have been worrying about the Native terror, or the German terror, or the Mexican terror. Nope just women and coloreds and homos. White men are only doing God’s work when they kill somebody.
It’s always some “other” we should fear while ignoring our own sins. Always.
Keep ’em coming Flash, I’m so hurt and offended by you trying to brand me a lesbian. I’m crying right now, you’re on to me.

EC, I agree, but this inevitability doesn’t dissolve those of complicity from blame which women, blacks and third world immigrants share the bulk of.

TE. You read , but don’t comprehend. I didn’t try to brand you a lesbian .I merely suggested that due you attitude of hatred towards men -Stickless not included- you might be happier settled with another creature of chaos. You really should work on your comprehension skills.

TE, a woman told me recently – “you speak very good English” – I took it to mean, ‘you sound enlightened for someone who looks like a wetback’. I haven’t changed, I simply look good next to flash.

TE, don’t cry. I have met a lot of woman-haters, guys who like to pick fights with women, you were slose when you said flash may have mommy issues and bad women experiences. Those types usually live alone and have no prospects of a girlfriend, they tend to be obsessed with dicks but have no other gay symptoms.

@El, after I clicked submit, it hit me how that sounded. I’m sorry. But you have changed, go forth and search on your comments, I know you can see it. I’ve changed since coming here. People here, Admin and others, have shown me things I didn’t know/ignored and changed me. Deeply. That is all I meant. I’m a big believer in “if you’re not growing, you’re dying.” And trust me, had you not stuck up for Flash at some point he would still be making quips and crap about those of Latino origin. You called someone out for that awhile back and Flash changed that stripe. With us women, and of course the “homos,” he feels safe because he doesn’t think his God cares if he treats us badly and that he won’t have anything to atone for. For his sake, I hope his heaven is exactly like that. Though it would be my hell.
Flash I don’t hate men, pointing out facts doesn’t make me a man hater. I have never said that we should deny Christians, or Men, their rights. You, on the other hand, say the opposite and post (well, copy/paste) that crap ALL THE TIME.
I do believe the last @EC is a doppel, so I won’t credit him with the comment. I considered, momentarily, to strike out with words and potentially hurt Flash very, very, badly. He makes it pretty easy. But, dammit, I’m trying so freaking hard to spread light, not hate, love, not darkness. It is pretty easy for me to “read” people, I could make a living as a false psychic if I wanted to, and I could use those skills to draw his blood.
I want to stay in the light. Just like my fight right now to not run out and get a pack of cigs, I am better than that/them!
EC, i don’t cluster all women to the left , but there are enough leaning that way to swing national elections and have..that’s all , just the facts.
The searcher is clear.
