Comments on: Whips not votes http://www.spankingwriters.com/blog/2007/05/13/whips-not-votes/ Abel's spanking blog & stories Sun, 12 Feb 2012 19:43:12 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Amber http://www.spankingwriters.com/blog/2007/05/13/whips-not-votes/comment-page-1/#comment-25757 Amber Tue, 15 May 2007 13:38:59 +0000 http://www.spankingwriters.com/blog/2007/05/16/whips-not-votes/#comment-25757 My husband often says that women should not be allowed to vote, and he's only half joking. And do you realize that I've never voted in my life, except for the students' government in college? It's because in Mumbayumbastan it makes no difference and in US I won't be able to vote for another few years.

But y'all knew that, right? I'm not letting the cat out of the bag?

My mother's mother's parents disagreed about women voting. My great-grandfather, a very proper product of Eton and Oxford was opposed to giving women the vote. My great-grandmother favored women's sufferage. According to my grandmother, they didn't discuss it very often and my great-grandmother didn't disagree too loudly. But she did take a revenge. When women's sufferage succeeded, for the first 5 years she marked her ballot exactly the opposite of his. Her logic was that this would give him a sense of what it was like to not have the vote. Despite, or perhaps because, of her doing this by the end of his life he admitted that women's sufferage was one of the issues he had found himself on the wrong side of. While I've always loved hearing stories about them, I've never had any doubt who had the upper hand in their o so traditional marriage. ;) ::smile::
