With a  big h/t to Buzzflash for posting this link, thought y’all would love this list of reasons that men shouldn’t vote, penned by writer Alice Duer Miller  in 1915:

Why We Don’t Want Men to Vote

• Because man’s place is in the army.
• Because no really manly man wants to settle any question otherwise than by fighting about it.
• Because if men should adopt peaceable methods women will no longer look up to them.
• 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.
• Because men are too emotional to vote. Their conduct at baseball games and political conventions shows this, while their innate tendency to appeal to force renders them unfit for government.
