Dear The Opinion
It's almost humorous to hear the
chauvinistic attitudes from so many.
It's almost as if society has forgotten
that we are equally as intelligent, if not
more so, as any man. Being a
competitive golfer, I'm very often
challenged against men. The men that
laugh at the fact that I have the
strength to carry a golf club are the
same men that think I'm incapable of
voting. After 18 holes and beating
every single one of them often changes
their minds. It makes me wonder how
some men will react to women working
the same jobs as them, making the
same money, women politicians even.

Women's su!rage. Not to
be confused with the su!ering
of women; quite the contrary.
Since the birth of our country,
women have been without the
right to vote. For a long time,
only men have been those who
chose the leaders of the
country. This system has been
kept alive so long simply
because it works. The male
being the supreme sex is the
only one capable of selecting
viable candidates. What
happens when women get used
to having such rights? What
happens when women take
advantage of having the same
rights as men such rights? What
happens when women take
advantage of having the same
rights as men. Now asking for
the right to vote, next are they
going to ask us to do the
laundry, cook dinner, and raise
children? This is simply
outrageous and ludicrous. If
they continue at this pace, roles
could reciprocate. Women will
eventually begin leading the
state, then the country, then
eventually, us. Hopefully the
country understands the
outcomes of their mistakes."

the way things run. The
