In April 1905 former president Grover Cleveland wrote in the Ladies' Home Journal that "sensible and responsible women" will not want to vote. "The relative positions to be assumed by man and woman in the working out of our civilization were assigned long ago by a higher intelligence than ours."

1. Sounds like just what the Christian Revisionist/Dominionists believe.

2. Hmmm, well, makes me think we've come further than I think we have sometimes - although the fundies

want to take us BACK, Way Back! :^)

3. Sounds like a guy who is using religion to keep power

here he's exploiting it to control women. They used it to keep slaves and they continue to use it to lessen the human value of gays and atheists. Bullying is about power and they use contempt and by reducing the victim to something less then 100% human.

4. In 103 years look at how far we haven't come.

Same crap, different century.

6. We don't even need to break out the low powered binoculars to see

how far we've come. We can just look over our shoulder. It's right there.

8. Grover Cleveland is Watching- So Be Gay! Be Very Gay!

[Jamastiene]

5. I sure am glad HE is not around to get in our way nowadays.

The opposite of what he said is actually the truth. Any responsible and sensible woman knows that voting is the best possible way to get dipshits who make divisive, bigoted comments like that, out of power.

How about them apples, Grover? :evilgrin:

7. Actually, larry Summers got into trouble for saying just about the same thing.

check Wiki.

9. I think the state should get out of the voting business and leave it up to the religions

where it belongs.

10. Excellent! Instead of "Voting" we'll call it

The Inquisition! :rofl:

11. Relative postions being missionary with the lights off, naturally.

12. We Certainly Haven't Come Very Far...

in the past hundred years. Sad.
