birdog1960 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 was at a civic club meeting this morning and we were reminded that only a short time ago, women earned the right to vote on a close senatorial vote over this issue on 6/4/1920. http://womenshistory.about.com/od/suffrage1900/a/august_26_wed.htm .virginia approved the right in 1952. amazing and sad.

"civic": relating to community; connected with the duties and obligations of belonging to a community. same root as "civilized". wouldn't expect it to be high on the liberterian vocabulary list.

TakeYouToTasker Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Under the Constitution, men have only had the "right to vote" for 144 years, and the privilege of voting for 225 years, so in the grand scheme of Anglo-Saxon/European history, I'd say women aren't doing all that bad.

Civilized as in civil, as in civl war, as in whats so civil about war anyway, as in Guns N'Roses, as in Chinese Democracy, as in it will be at least 10 years before you get the joke.
