HW 18: Ann Coulter: "Personal Fantasy" To Take Away Women's Right To Vote

My least favorite post of the week can be found at The Democratic Party weblog at http://www.democrats.org/blog.html. Posted on Friday, October 4, Ann Coulter, a right wing Republican, made a highly disturbing comment about women's voting rights during an interview with the New York Observer. According to Coulter, "If we took away women's right to vote, we'd never have to worry about another Democrat president. It's kind of a pipe dream, it's a personal fantasy of mine...and it is a good way of making the point that women are voting so stupidly, at least single women." Coulter is insisting that women are the reason for Democratic Presidents becoming elected into office and also she believes that American women are not intelligent when it comes to political decision-making. This appalling remark is sexist towards the female gender and expresses the belittlement and discrimination to about half of the American population. Coulter also makes a point about single women in particular which is greatly incorrect. In my view, women, single or not, are equally if not more intelligent then men and women's views on who should be elected to run our country's government is just as important as any man's. There is no logical reason why men should be the only gender allowed to vote and I am sure that most men and not just women would agree with this. Isn't the United States of America built on the principals of fairness and free speech? America would no longer represent what we stand for as a country if a significant right like women's right to vote is taken away. The way in which a President is elected is from the majority vote of the people, not just from one specific gender and this is how it should be and always remain.
