It is clear to me that the right to vote has been perverted for political ends. Indeed, in America, I’ve always believed that the whole point of the American War for Independence was to empower the individual citizen over the primacy of the State. In order to do that, only certain people who have a stake in both their property and freedom would have a greater stake in the governance of the nation as a whole, which is why only landowners and businessmen could vote because most legislation had a greater impact on them than anyone else.
Granting more people the right to vote has less to do with freedom and more to do with rigging elections. By undermining those who have the greater stake in a nation’s prosperity and policies, you increase the power of Government.
The retirement age is the most visible example of male discrimination. But this doesn’t stop Polish feminist groups from complaining that female pensions are lower! Women have to work shorter and live much longer than men. In comparison they get more money total. Feminist fail to see ways in which males are worse of. The moment I heard about the retirement rules, draft and the lone fact that the feminist fail to notice these things was the moment I realized that feminists are not about equality – they are after supremacy.
I am researching an essay on the last 100 years of history on the English working man & how his story is always in the shadow of the ‘oppressed’ women.
Loved the video but I can’t find a bibliography & need to reference some of the things so I can use them. Please can someone tell me were I can find the following bits of information as some of this differs to what I have in my text books (although I am not so naive that I don’t think history/politics books are not written with an agenda in mind);
1) that the 1832 reform act says ‘land-owner’ (non gender) . My text book says it said ‘men’.
2) This video doesn’t mention the 1884 3rd reform act, my books say that it enfrancised 5 million men, 2/3rd’s of male population (only v poorest, insane, criminal & living with employers, e.g. valets, couldn’t vote). Hope they could (bit of solidarity) but would love to argue that like the piece said, policeman & WW1 soldiers didn’t have the vote either). Tried to bring this up in the group & was shouted down, was told that soldiers did have the vote & the 1918 reform act was primarily set up as the soldiers had lost their vote due to not been a UK resident & this was changed so the returning soldiers would be able to vote in the 1918 election (held just after the reform act was passed.
If someone could help me with this – that would help a lot
