Doesn't this statement seem absurd today? "Votes of Women can accomplish no more then votes of Men. Why waste time, energy and money without result?"
Hopefully it isn't 90 years before the sentiments expressed in this thread are also considered absurd by most everyone.
I am sure that some people argued they weren't being allowed to exercise their religious beliefs that women should not vote and that somehow they were the victims.
Other reasons women should not be allowed to vote:
BECAUSE 90% of the women either do not want it, or do not care.
BECAUSE it means competition of women with men instead of co-operation.
BECAUSE 80% of the women eligible to vote are married and can only double or annul their husband's votes.
BECAUSE it can be of no benefit commensurate with the additional expense involved.
BECAUSE in some States more voting women than voting men will place the Government under petticoat rule.
BECAUSE it is unwise to risk the good we already have for the evil which may occur.
