and Only men should be able to vote in matters concerning war, because only men can get drafted and fight in the military.

I consider Ann's quote as a shorthand for this because ALL of the guys I know read the newspaper/know about current events, when only about half of the girls I know do.

Do you really want the fate of the world being decided by someone who won't drop 25 cents for a newspaper?
*Draw drops in disbelief*

Did I ever mention that I love living in a country where the right to vote is pretty much unconditional?
