GOP Writer: Women Shouldn't Vote
National Review columnist John Derbyshire has made a name for himself saying really stupid things. Like when he lamented America's Hispanic "invasion," or called affirmative action "hideous," or criticized Virginia Tech victims.
His latest insane claim: Society would be better off if women didn’t vote. No really, he thinks that. The statement comes from the chapter "The Case Against Women’s Suffrage" from We Are Doomed: Reclaiming Conservative Pessimism.
When pressed about this view on a radio show yesterday, he replied:
(The) logic of that chapter, that chapter five in my book, rests on the proposition that women voting is bad for conservatism, and as a conservative, of course, I think that’s bad for society.
A ridiculous statement, of course, and one that does his party zero favors. The GOP is floundering; the last thing it needs is some bonehead publicly suggesting gender inequality as a party antidote.
So why provide him a high-profile platform in a major right-wing publication? News flash, Repubs: What's bad for conservatism is people like John Derbyshire.

I wonder which conservative woman-Sarah Palin, Ann Coulter, Michelle Malkin, Liz Cheney, etc-will be the first to burn her voter registration card?
Next, of course, she'll close her bank account, surrender her driver's license, drop out of school. . . .everything that will make America great again.

I'd be interested to know his rationale, and whether it resembles the anti-suffragist arguments of a century ago.
