Full article: When I first saw online rumblings that women’s right to vote was being called into question in the US, I assumed the manosphere was having a slow day and that it was an outrageous fringe idea to be laughed off. After all, the 19th Amendment assuring women’s suffrage was ratified in 1920.
However, even the most fiercely anti-feminist forces haven’t openly questioned women having the vote in my lifetime, because no one can remember a time when it wasn’t normal. That particular Overton window was closed and bolted. But recently, someone has been picking the lock.
I host *The Guilty Feminist* podcast and at a live show in London a few years ago, an admittedly uncharacteristic audience member collared me in the theatre lobby and told me very earnestly that she thought women shouldn’t have the vote – because we were “too emotional”. That was my first alarm bell.
With our current government and Supreme Court, I give women 50/50 odds if they’ll be able to vote in 2028. Not that I expect that will be a free and fair election. Trump has already installed electors. Ten years from now, it may only be white land owners who have a vote in this country.

You don’t say.
They’ve also been gradually making it more and more difficult for Black Americans to vote, Florida especially.

And yet, women voted for it when they elected Trump.

These men who think women will just fold and they’re going to get free maid service are in for a real treat.

Pointing out Republicans “Save Act” while supposedly going after the made up problem of non-citizens voting in our election, it does have the real consequence of making it harder if not impossible for Married women who have changed thier last name to vote. As their last name will no longer match thier birth certificate, and as many do not have the required documents to prove a name change (marriage certificate doesn’t count)
They already pass this in the House.

Of those who voted, 53% of white women voted for the racist, fascist, sexist pedophile on November 5th, 2024.

Oh these ideas will reach the mainstream in a year or two just allow them to end birthright citizenship and push those who can still claim citizenship to like the 1950s.
Once you give the president the right to just end parts of the constitution he will just write an executive order ending the 19th amendment and there goes one of the dems strongest base of support young women.

Yeah that’s because it’s a dystopia, and having kids who will inherit this is among the worst decisions an intelligent person can make

Doesn’t matter. We sounded the alarm in Roe and still voted for this shit.

At this point I’m trying a whole new approach to those headlines:
Heyyyy! Awesome. And you found that out all by yourself? You must be proud! We are proud! We are all proud. Now tell me. How did you find out ~~that completely obvious fact~~?

And everyone else they don’t like.

Men have a higher capacity for rational thought than women. If you look into things like astrology, and mediums speaking to the departed, nearly every customer is female. They just cant tell what is real, and therefore cant be trusted with the vote.
If a woman was elected to the Whitehouse she would spend all her time on meaningless nonsense like remodelling the building and guady interior decorations
Men, on the other hand, spend their increased intellect on real things, like football, truck racing and perfecting a new barbecue rub.

Only to add to the mystery of why there are Republican women at all.

It certainly wasn’t straightforward for all American women: native American women weren’t even classed as citizens until 1924 and the Jim Crow laws blocked Black women from voting until the 1960s, and [there is still voter suppression to this day.](https://inews.co.uk/opinion/suffragettes-got-us-half-way-marginalised-women-remain-locked-democracy-118614?ico=in-line_link)

That was my first alarm bell.
Since then, the manosphere – the online anti-women lobby – has become inflamed in ways I could not have[ imagined and Roe v Wade](https://inews.co.uk/news/roe-vs-wade-what-summary-us-abortion-case-meaning-explained-overturned-supreme-court-1709237?srsltid=AfmBOoplDFiv5XyqwDqPXvikQnVBRvOJ1PofHZ2ecc075aYtqerVdlES&ico=in-line_link), the US Supreme Court ruling ensuring the right to an abortion at a federal level, has been overturned. The times they are a-changing.
In response, I am producing a series of episodes entitled “The Road to Gilead”, referencing[ Margaret Atwood’s dystopian novel](https://inews.co.uk/culture/books/real-margaret-atwood-sentimental-blunt-deliciously-naughty-4011809?srsltid=AfmBOoqCrTuAfKLGwmwjaIvCJht9psiF9xn-zHcv2KmdG7RXH7CCFh-c&ico=in-line_link) (and hit TV adaptation) *The Handmaid’s Tale*. Gilead is a fictitious version of the United States where men are in charge and women are subjugated as obedient wives, enslaved baby-factories, sex workers and indentured servants. It sounds horrifying, but it seems more possible this year than last and far more plausible than it did 10 years ago.
