Was the Women’s Movement Needed?

This is a hypothetical analysis the goes back to voting in the colonies. If we take look at voting in the colonies, it can be seen that there was one vote for each of the properly owners. Therefore, if women were to vote as a property owner, then there would probably been no women’s movement.

Voting in the colonies was one vote per each property owner. Since it can be assumed that couples were married in the colonial life, this would mean that the husband and wife talked about politics, and the husband would take their feelings to the meeting house to discuss the planks for the platform representing their community. But, like Martha Curtis (later Washington), widows would also have the right to express their views on the government. In Martha’s case, she would probably have expressed her views to her family members that would represent her views at the meeting house, since women did not usually attend these meetings. However, depending on the location of the meeting house, like a tavern, it can be assumed that women were present. And, for those that feel like women did not get a chance to express their feelings views, the writings regarding Abigail Adams makes it clear that her husband, John, knew her feelings on the government, even as the US president. It should be noted that all women did not have the interest in politics like Abigail.

Therefore, as things changed in the United States, it became clear that single women property owners would have started attending the political meetings, since, as property owners, they needed to have their feelings in the political planks. Furthermore, with women attending the political meetings, they would have been considered equal to other property owners.

With men and women being considered equal, then women would have been able to take up careers out of the family dynamics, as our culture changed from an agricultural environment to a manufacturing environment. In other words, as the world was changing, there was not as much work in the home as there was during the agricultural environment. Women would have had to look for other opportunities, as we have seen in the manufacturing environment. In this manufacturing environment, Women could come doctors, lawyers, and politicians.

With women properly owners being able to vote, this puts a whole different approach to the dynamics of the government, and it is difficult to write about the differences in today’s environment. But, it is clear that women would obtaining land so that they could vote. In the agriculture environment, Married women buy land in their name so that they could vote.

This country would be so different, too. Most of the rental property would be condominiums, so that more people would have the chance to vote. Even the minorities would be owning property, so that they could vote.

With women voting, it is hard to imagine what the sovereign of marriage would look like today. Would women focus on owning property to vote instead of marriage? This is a possible, and it would have a major change in the world as we see it today.

The founding fathers wanted property owners to vote, since they would be responsible votes. It is hard to interoperate what this county would look like with responsible voting, but the chaos that we see in the streets today probably would not exist. The rally cry would be rather simple, “own property and make a difference.”

For people that own property, they do take an interest in maintaining their properties and an interest in their government. They would also elect people that would take the written Constitution and federal laws seriously, and not be as concern about getting reelected.

To see the women’s movement today, it is totally bizarre, with some women becoming totally arrogant. There are some women that think that they are above everyone else. By looking at the IQ scores between men and women, they are about the same, but intelligence is not good way at looking at the difference, since the drive, background, and ability is what distinguishes the motivation for each person.

As was heard many times as I was growing up. women should be barefoot, in the kitchen, and having babies. Although this phase is greatly distorted, women are domestic, but it has no indication of their capacity in the world, since women can make great contribution to our society. With Martha Curtis being one of the largest property owners at the time, it is obvious that she would have not appreciated this statement, even if she was living an aristocratic life. It should be stated that she married George Washington only have a short time after the death of her first husband.

By looking at women as gathers, with men as hunters, this does show that women are capable of succeeding. With women collecting, growing, preparing, and storing food and being in control of the upbringing of children, this ancestry for women shows that they are capable of succeeding in the modern world. But, as with antiquity, women are stronger is some rolls then men. They seem to be much stronger in the office running a company while the men are in the field taking care of business. Unlike today’s environment, with diversity, equality, and inclusion, it is important to find the right work for each person, since it is not about men or women’s dominance.

During the colonial days, this event show how this country could have evolved through the years. When Lewis and Clark came to the mouth of the Columbia River, they were tied down for several days on the north side of the river in a major rainstorm. The captains determined that they needed to build a fort for the winter, so they caucused group, with everyone expressing their feelings, including Sacajawea. The captains felt that she was equal to the men. After all, she was carrying more of the weight for the expedition than her husband. She also cast her vote on the location of the fort. It must be remembered that the captains were going to send half of the crew back down the Missouri River after ascending the Missouri River, but , with the dedication of all the men, they all when to the Pacific Ocean. Furthermore, since Sacajawea earn the right to vote, she was voting with men that was dedicated to the expedition. Therefore, if women that owned property were allowed to vote, they would be considered equal as Sacajawea was in colonial America.

It is true that if people own property, and that includes women, were able to vote, we would living in an entirely different world. But, above all, women would be considered as equal to men, since they would be voting for a responsible government. There would not be this friction between men and women’s place in this world. Furthermore, as we see today, women can be good mangers of property and they can focus on a responsible government.
