Repeal the 19th Amendment

Go read the 19th. It's more than just the women's right to vote.
And a TimCast isn't GOP centric... That's what made that discussion interesting. Some people think there should be certain requirements to vote, besides simple citizenship.

Indeed there already are other requirements besides simple citizenship, e.g., age requirement, not being in jail due to felony conviction.

According to what I've seen, all the amendment says is:
The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.
Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
So what possible benefit could repealing it bring?

Me, neither.
We share the lived experience of not being able to find a timcast about the 19th amendment on YouTube. Nobody else can possibly understand what this is like.

Here it is.
Link to videoNow I have the lived experience of correcting a mistake of my own. This is a more important lived experience than not finding a timcast on youtube about the 19th amendment. Which is saying a lot.

It’s another sighting in the wild that progressive middle aged women are a problem. They weren’t serious about repealing the 19th, but there was anecdotal discussion of how progressive women were ruining it for everybody. Because they are the most culturally malleable of us. Due to a need to consider themselves virtuous. The motherhood instinct applied to the oppressed. Well worn territory on TNCR, in fact I’ve always attributed the oil and water nature of the TNCR/WTF split to exactly that psychology. But it is clearly becoming more mainstream to see things in these terms. As reality would have it.

I'm guessing 'lived experience' is a newly discovered term for you.

No, but I’ve been seeing it get used in the wild a lot, unironically, as a mic drop conversation stopper.
