You Come a Long Way, But There Is Still a Long Ways To Go.

The right of citizens in the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.
Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

Today is the 86th anniversary of the 19th Amendment that gave women the right to vote. What a radical concept! Imagine given women that right to vote! It was never heard of before and I wonder if they had to pass such a radical legislation today would it pass? In today’s conservative climate would they even consider such a bill, after all the founders of the nation never considered it, the bible states that women shall be sub servant to men, how dare they think themselves as equal to men!
Now think about sexual orientation, gender and gender expression, what radical ideas those are.

Thanks to Helen for point out that today was the anniversary of the 19th Admendment.
