Women should have the vote taken away says conservative author
delalluvia:
Even in the West and 21st century, women's rights are bandied about by some men as something that it's up to them to give or take. Just boggles the mind.
John Derbyshire, a British-American conservative author and columnist for the National Review, has written a new book titled We Are Doomed: Reclaiming Conservative Pessimism. The book contains a section called “The Case Against Female Suffrage.”

That basically it. Some men have such a superiority complex (to mask their feelings of inferiority, I guess) that they feel that other people's rights are up to them. THEY will graciously grant these rights and having given them feel free to suggest that taking them is also an option left up to them whenever they feel like it.
The arrogance is astounding.

I am considering writing a book myself, where one prominent chapter if so will be called: "The Case Against John Derbyshire's Freedom of Speech".
I'm sure he will agree my right to pursue that matter is as valid as his efforts to deny me the right to vote. ::)

That would serve Ann Coulter right. Didn't she say something similar, once? Evidently she forgot that she'd lose her vote, too.
Unless she's really a drag queen, which I've long suspected. ...
