Right-Wing Media Discourage Young Women From Votinghttp://mediamatters.org/research/2014/10/21/right-wing-media-discourage-young-women-from-vo/201259
Fox News is discouraging young people from voting again, but this time the target is more specific: young women.
"The Five" co-host Kimberly Guilfoyle said Tuesday that young women should excuse themselves from voting in the upcoming midterm elections because they don't share the same "life experience" as older women and should just go back to playing around on Tinder and Match.com.
"It's the same reason why young women on juries are not a good idea," Guilfoyle said. "They don't get it!"

rather than win over support.
Jack Kemp would be disturbed by this.

I wonder what their stance is on the tax money these young women pay into the system. If they shouldn't vote, well, then they shouldn't have to pay taxes. Why pay into a system that doesn't allow one to have their input?
