I’ve seen people speculate about Betty Cartledge, the first-time 81-year-old voter, including making fun of her saying that she didn’t really think about it, but necessary context for that remark is that she’s not literate and needed assistance to vote. www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/20...

We needed and need the women’s movement and education!

I’m happy she was finally able to exercise her right to vote. It’s sad that she was prevented from doing so until now.

It’s not just voting. Women of my grandparents generation often did not know how to drive or have drivers licenses.

Makes me wonder about how prolific the problem is but how many people are shamed into not asking for accommodations or assistance. So, they either opt out or unintentionally vote against themselves. Definitely a problem that needs a viable solution.

My grandmother would be from the same generation, and she was pulled out of elementary school to help raise her siblings, so I have strong feelings about anyone mocking the illiteracy of someone especially of that age.

MASSIVE failure of our public education system on multiple levels.

That story is sad for so many reasons

Good for her!

To make fun of her, one really has to have the privilege of not knowing what a coercive relationship is.

In case anyone wants to know we fight for women's rights.
