For those of us not from the star spangled lands:
The Nineteenth Amendment (Amendment XIX) to the United States Constitution prohibits the United States and its states from denying the right to vote to citizens of the United States on the basis of sex, in effect recognizing the right of women to vote.
So OPs dad is a sexist prick.
FWIW, this is my opinion as a millennial.
He could be arguing that US needs to take away the right to vote from men. So sexist, but misandrist instead of misogynist. He’s not, obviously, but in theory he could be. I see an argument in favour from where I’m sitting.
The year you were born does not define your views. I detest these arbitrary year-based labels.
Oh, I absolutely agree. I included that just to be more descriptive.
But by including that you imply that there is a causality relationship. You didn’t share his hair color even though that would also be more descriptive.
I think they included it to say that the person espousing this view isn’t older, like a boomer of gen-x-er.
Calling this mildly infuriating is… well… putting it mildly.
Is this in reference to Juneteenth?
No, to the 19th amendment. 😭
What does your mom say?
This is your dad on Facebook. Thanks for clarifying his age classification in the headline as if it was the cause of his bigotry. Really great content we’re putting out here Lemmy.
In the US, many would likely presume Boomer. So it is context against that normal expectation due to stereotypes.
