<span>Men do not have an exclusivity to how the affairs of the nation should be run. EVERYONE, over a certain age should be allowed to participate in the electoral process. Merely based on gender puts a lie to "equal representation", for then, it is only conditionalized representation. As to arguments that women will vote for the cutest candidate that belies their intelligence. Also, keep in mind that men vote for candidates because of the party affiliation and not on any platform so presented. If we believe in equal rights for all, it MUST extend to the ballot box. It must be fair and equitable and it must be for all, regardless of gender, race, creed or political stance. I, as a citizen of this nation, must be allowed to express myself in the affairs of this country and voting is one of those avenues.</span>
In the late 1800s most immigrants that were coming to the United States settled in the area now known as New York City and Manhattan. Immigrants that came from Asian decent settled along the west coast.
