Keep Looking Happy Janet Kuypers 8/26/19, the 1920 day the U.S. 19th Amendment was certified, given women the right to vote Women, in theory, should feel pleased when we win battles for our rights. So whatever women do, you keep looking happy. That’s what we women have to do, in this eternal uphill battle. # When this country was founded, it was land-owning white men who voted. Fifty years before we women gained that right, white men decided that black men — men once slaves, or descendants of slaves, black men once considered three fifths of a person — they got the right to vote fifty years before us women. # I get it, I get it, I shouldn’t be so pessimistic — I shouldn’t look so negatively at battles we’ve had to fight so hard to win. I shouldn’t think that our only male options to vote for, they decide our fate — they make personal choices for us women that we had the honor to vote for... # and I understand, we’ve come a long way, baby — we women once couldn’t attend college, even if we had such a long history of caring for your home, your food, your children — understanding finances so much more explicitly than you. And yes, us women are running for offices while we’re still so under-represented and we still face that uphill climb... so yes, we’ll keep voting (thank you for that honor) because before you know it we’ll have made some changes that you didn’t see coming, because really, when we’re done, you’ll see that laws the rest of the world agrees with, laws that treating women as equals — that kind of treatment isn’t so unreasonable after all.
