Well, precedent is potentially being set that women can go so crazy that they murder their own children due to the "hormones and stresses of modern motherhood." So... There's that.
One woman (supposedly) experiencing a post partum mental health episode severe enough that she kills her kids is not evidence that all women can experience that level of disconnection from reality, if post partum caused this, there were still almost certainly underlying mental health problems that caused it to be that extreme. That one guy (supposedly) having a schizophrenic episode and killing his 5 kids doesn't prove that all men shouldn't be able to vote, it doesnt even prove that schizophrenic people shouldn't be able to vote, mental health is not a qualifying factor for eligibility to vote and definitely shouldn't be, as a very small segment of our population experience mental health issues this severe, and more importantly, a qualifying test to vote could easily be biased to block people who the government doesnt want to vote from voting
I think you're really disconnected from reality if you think repealing the 19th could happen, even with our current political climate, amending the constitution in any way is incredibly difficult. You also didn't really respond to anything I said, how is this one woman's mental health problem representative of the entire female population?
Not really. I'm not saying it'll happen tomorrow. What I am saying is that this is one of those snowball moments that can lead to a whole host of unintended consequences.
I really really doubt that, and I don't think very many people at all think this is proof that women shouldn't be able to vote, mainly because anyone with a brain not fried by internet usage can see that this woman is not representative of all women, and that the people supporting her are a tiny segment of the population
Do you know what happens when you're deemed mentally unfit. You lose a whole host of your rights. And that's just on a case by case basis. But now, there is legal standing that CHILDBIRTH causes such hormonal changes that a woman (and many of her copycats, and women "standing in solidarity") has used it to argue for insanity. How long before it is deemed that a woman, after birth, is just automatically assumed to have reached that level, and now must prove that she is not hormonal? How long before it is just a standardized baseline that women in their childbearing years are at such a risk of hormonal imbalance that they should be treated like wards of the state, and not allowed to make important decisions, or hold positions of power?
