Debate: The $20 Bill
- Thread starter oath2order
- Start date
if they did this i would move to murrica
I don't want stupid people on a $20 bill, like Niki Minaj or Beyonce.
I think Rosa Parks should be on there, but did you know that 2 girls had done the bus thing before her and were arrested, so someone told Rosa to act it out? The more you know

I think that if America changes the people on their money, they should start putting real important figures on them that we can all admire as role models and aspire to be.

I'm a feminist and all, but the people depicted on American money are founding fathers and presidents. So, when there's a female president (ideally Elizabeth Warren over Hillary Clinton any day, omg), put her face on a bill.
I highly doubt they ever will ( or any time soon) , but I think it would be a wonderful, fantastic idea.
There are so many amazing women that would be a much better representation of America than Andrew Jackson ever was.

Yes... but Andrew Jackson was a terrible person. He killed thousands (millions?) of indians, destroyed the bank of Amerca (irony), and completely went over the judicial powers.
So maybe a woman never has been president, but so many are definitely more deserving.

The $20 bill has actually featured 10 different people in the past. Andrew Jackson has not always been the face on the $20 bill. It actually featured Pocahontas at one point.

Maybe not, but it does say a lot about our country on who is on our bills.

^^^This, yup.
Plus, Susan B. Anthony already has monetary distinction, as does Sacagewea(idk why anthony is on money (popular demand of the same kind, maybe- Eisenhower used to be there (he deserves to have some commemoration- if you must replace Jackson, replace him with Ike)). That makes two females. And idk about anyone else, but I have had a few golden dollars, all more memorable than the usual currency I exchange.

I hope they at least just keep making new ones, the artists are so amazing, I can't even imagine carving that stuff, all those tiny lines and hidden words. I used to study money a lot because I have an affinity for tiny things, and I would show everyone all the cool microscopic things they put on each bill.

put my face on the $20 bill
I dont necessarily know if a woman needs to be on there, but in an ideal world, a different person should be on there. Its one of the most used bills and while he was a good president, i dont know if he is in the same class as washington or lincoln. Maybe roosevelt because he guided the country through a great depression and a war. But someone of that caliber.

PUT ZACHARY TAYLOR ON THERE, he convinced Lincoln to eradicate slavery but didn't have the power himself to make it happen. Lincoln stole his thunder. (Really though I just want him to get noticed because he's my ancestor and he doesn't get enough credit...)
idk why this would be necessary at all. The fact that some people want a woman on it for the sake of being a woman really doesn't give a good image to their feminist views, like it loses the significance. I really doubt any significant female figure would want to be on the bill just because they are a woman, rather than the things they have actually achieved (and let's be honest that's what it's really about).
But you never know maybe someone would like their biggest achievement of being a female to be acknowledged???
so idk maybe sarah palin
EDIT: also I feel sorry for the guy who would get kicked off

You know you can disregard posts when they start with "I'm a feminist and all". A president is a president, regardless of gender. Just because a female is president doesn't mean they are anything special. Just because a male is president doesn't mean they are anything special. Think equality.
Considering feminism is the fight for equality, it does matter.
Saying you'd disregard a post because someone starts it with "I'm a feminist" is really ignorant.
lol it's nothing to do with what feminism is
Considering every single president in the past is male, I think you'd be blind not to see a pattern.
Fighting for equality means fighting for it everywhere, so who is a president does matter. (it does not mean elect any female you can find to run, but it DOES mean we should push for more female and poc candidates to be taken seriously as options)
You vote for a political candidate, one that is not defined by gender. Unfortunately there are people that share views similar to yours that would vote for a woman because they are a woman, although it may be denied or even a subconscious decision.
Perhaps your pattern of male presidents has nothing to do with females but of males, and in case you didn't know feminism has nothing to do with suppressing another gender which is what your argument is verging on. I recommend further research and readings on this topic in relation to political agenda.
