Question:
What is this nonsense called women's vote?

Every election, we hear about how a presidential candidate has won the 'women's vote'. Why should there be such a thing called 'women's vote' when there's no such thing for men?

Doesn't this make women in general bias? Because many probably throw in their vote to whoever who promises more rights for women. Apparently that has been the case for the past few decades. I even hear some sources say that women's vote determines who'll win the election.

Should men also group together and vote to whichever candidate who promises a better future for men?

Rights for women can be restated as a larger and more powerful welfare state. This is the goal of governments in general. This is also the goal of socialists worldwide. The socialists have taken over the feminist movement and have made voting women into pawns for larger government expansion. They did this by convincing them they are still oppressed and more action is needed.



At first you might mistake me for a typical, wide eyed, tin foil wearing conspiracy nut. However, note I did not mention the "NWO" or any other such nonsense. We just need to educate women that they already have equal rights. And voting for more "rights" for them actually degrades liberty for everyone, including women.

it's more likely that it is a language artifact leftover from when women first got the right to vote. Until that point in time, voting had always been one in the same as "men's vote." When women were introduced to the voting scene, many people likely still thought of "voting" as something that men did. So, to make a distinction, they would have referred to "women's vote" to make a distinction.

Do you remember when the British Raj was in India and Indians had no say in their own affairs and then the great Mahatma Gandhi G came along - it's a bit like that.
