National Review’s John Derbyshire Prefers That Women Don’t Vote

“The Derb” has a book out called We Are Doomed, wherein he makes “The Case Against Female Suffrage.”  He expanded on this revolutionary concept on my radio show, and Think Progress caught it.


DERBYSHIRE: Among the hopes that I do not realistically nurse is the hope that female suffrage will be repealed. But I’ll say this – if it were to be, I wouldn’t lose a minute’s sleep.

 

COLMES: We’d be a better country if women didn’t vote?

 

DERBYSHIRE: Probably. Don’t you think so?

 

COLMES: No, I do not think so whatsoever.

 

DERBYSHIRE: Come on Alan. Come clean here [laughing].

 

COLMES: We would be a better country? John Derbyshire making the statement, we would be a better country if women did not vote.

 

DERBYSHIRE: Yeah, probably.
