Women, we’d like to hear from you about what voting means to you.
We’re also interested in voting experiences: how you felt the first time you voted, who has most influenced your voting, what you say to your children about voting, etc.

I notice the AJ conveniently deleted the original responses to this ridiculous question. Here's my answer. I am privileged enough to have the right to vote, therefore I do. I don't like what you're doing, so I vote to change. I agree with you, so I vote to keep things going in the right direction. The fact that I'm a woman no longer has a thing to do with it. I'm an American. C'mon, ladies! With a little bit of effort, we can put the peanuts who come up with these lame brained inquiries out to pasture!
All of my life, both of my parents were adamant about voting;
therefore, I am, too. My mother was Democratic precinct chairman for years and helped to conduct elections in her precinct in my home town. As children, my siblings and I loved election night because we all went downtown to the square and played while our parents watched the election results go up on the long chalk board put up for that purpose. I am grateful for those who fought for a woman's right to vote, and I can't imagine anyone ever being opposed to it.
