Why We Oppose Votes for Men Because man’s place is in the Army. Because no really manly man want to settle any question otherwise than by fighting. Because if men should adopt peaceful methods, women will no longer look up to them. Because men will lose their charm if they step out of their natural sphere and interest themselves in other matters than feats of arms, uniforms, and drums. Because men are too emotional to vote. Their conduct at baseball games and political conventions shows this while their innate tendency to appeal to force renders them particularly unfit for the task of government. - Alice Duce Miller, 1915
