Votes for Women

11 March, 2013
Posted in: Princess

Me: It was International Women’s Day last Friday.
Her: I know and I still can’t vote.
Me: Well, that’s not because you’re a woman, it’s because you’re 9.
Her: Indignant silence [yes, she conveys indignation with her eyebrows].

    fantastic.

    What would a world run by nine year olds look like, I wonder?

    I bet she wouldn’t be impressed that in 1918 the franchise was extended to women only if they had reached the age of 30.

    Depends on the 9 year old, I imagine but free junk food would certainly be a theme that would resonate with voters on the doorsteps.

    She probably wouldn’t Eimear, say nothing..
