�We have a society that does tear families apart � I think the 19th Amendment, while it�s not an evil in and of itself, is a symptom of something I don�t approve of � The 19th Amendment is around because men weren�t doing their jobs, and I think that�s sad. I believe the man should be the head of the family. The woman should be the heart of the family.�

~ Sen. Kay O’Connor (R, KS), who is currently running for Secretary of State in Kansas

I do believe Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony–among other women involved in the suffrage movement–would like to have a word or two with her.

Nineteenth-century women didn’t want the vote because men weren’t doing their jobs. They wanted the vote because they wanted a voice in the affairs of the day. Nothing to do with gaining power over men; everything to do with equality.

Did I mention this year marks the 85th anniversary of the Nineteenth Amendment? :)
