women vote

it's less than a hundred years that women could vote;
British and German women in 1918, America probably
in 1920

So my mother, her mother, my father's sisters and his mother
could now vote.

That means my mother was a modern mother;
she even said to me, a modern woman will never marry a man
that cannot cook or sew on buttons
or knit a pullover for colder days.

well, my father could cook and bake, so I learned cooking,
baking, sewing, pullovering...from my mother and father

I wasn't sure anymore why I needed a woman to do these chores;
I knew too many people that were divorced,
and many of my friends lost their father during the war;

even my father was shot when he was 17 during the first world war;

so procreation and marriage contract and breeding
had somehow ulterior motives
that I did not want to get to close to


But these days all this is forgotten,
and I doubt women voting rights will celebrate their 100 anniversary;
just like gay rights, women will be hard pressed to embrace
once more Liberalism and Socialism
that had advanced her liberation
against the demands of a church in the first place.
The Vatican knows nothing about separation of church
and state which could guarantee women votes and rights.
