Time to bust out a silly jig, because I am a dudemanbro.
While doing the silly jig, I might actually contemplate a more serious approach to the issue, but then I would dismiss it because obviously the document that is the foundation of the United States government is in of itself being nonsensical. I mean, honest to God expiration dates on the rights it bestowed on its citizens? What arbitrary silliness.
Truly this is no longer in the realm of sanity and plausible explanations.
I guess I'd have to talk about it with one of my friends, because I talk politics with her sometimes and she would be distraught. But aside from that, there are those better suited than I to organize and carry out protests against it. With the exception of a very few areas, my assistance would be negligible.

I agree . Like i said in my original posts , i'm not too keen on democracy , it's just the best system compared to the others .Dr Jones said:
And i wasn't saying don't let black people vote , i just personally wouldn't care if the ability to do so was revoked ( myself being black also ), and it kinda goes hand to hand with what i said about education , since too great a number of us are "uneducated" ( strictly based on % of diploma holders) .
But i agree with everything you said. Like i said it's just the way i personally see things , which isn't to be taken seriously at all .
In today's society, this is one of those things that would just be ignored. The current voting code isn't that women have an exception from the who-can't-vote list, it's that all citizens who aren't disqualified directly by law can vote, as long as they have ID. So if the suffrage act were to expire, it would literally do nothing.
It really wouldn't matter.
Women would still vote, and no one would be stupid enough to try to force them to stop.
I really don't see how this would benefit anyone, anyways. The only part of politics this could possibly affect are the debates about abortion, but I know just as many pro-life women as pro-choice.
If some freak accident DID happen and the politicians WERE trying to take voting rights away from women, then I'd find some way to support the women's movement without getting too involved. Probably donate some money or help out at a couple of their rallies or something.

How's Quebec treating ya?[/OhSnap!]DoomyMcDoom said:
Aside from it being my own country, we're in the final stretch of the election right now. Plus I'm rather ignorant of other countries voting laws.AnarchistFish said:
1. Wonder if it is April 1st already.
2. Find out it is for real.
3. Try to figure out how this got through congress.
4. Remembers that the 19th amendment protects women's right to vote and laugh at Congress's forgetfullness.
5. Wait till every single court of appeal shoots this down.

OK, so you wake up one morning...and all the humans on Earth (except you) have been replaced with completely intelligent, bear-versions of themselves. What do you do?
See, your answer will be totally irrelevant, because that would literally never happen. And if the hypothetical situation you described DID happen, I honestly don't think it would change anything. Seeing as no one in their right mind would actually try to ENFORCE the mistake in the first place.

meh, i wouldn't really care. i'd just sip my coffee and go to the comics section in the newspaper. not to sound insensitive but i'm neither american nor a female.
on a unrelated note:
Captcha: Skynet knows.

Yeah, even for an Escapist thread dealing with women, this has been a painfully unrefreshing three pages. I'm just going to keep pretending to think that people actually would care and do what they could to protest such a thing happening, but that the hypothetical question is just too silly to take into serious consideration.Charli said:
