Debate: The $20 Bill

[Tao]

Also on point of the actual subject I saw someone mention putting the first female president on the 20$ if we were ever to elect one. We wouldn't really be able to do that because the law forbids any living person to be put on any of our money.

Aside from that, the first female president shouldn't go on the $20 bill simply because she was the first female president. That is a horrible reason to stick somebody on.

For all we know, the first female president could be a horrible person and be terrible at her job. Should she really be put on money simply because she was the first female president rather than for better reasons like "she was a fantastic person who did many brilliant things"?

Or just don't put anyone on the bill and nobody has to nag anymore, just like Euro bills.

To be honest what I think about most with Andrew Jackson was his attitude toward Native Americans and their suffering. I really just think of him as someone who was very cruel to that group of people regardless of what he accomplished for America. So I don't mind him going. And about a woman being on it, yeah, representation is important. I don't see why not. I think that's a question young girls might ask, why there are only men on our currency (Do Susan B. Anthony coins really count if no one's seen one in years?). Let them know they're capable of doing things that will immortalize them. Let it be more than an empty saying to tell them they can do anything they want if they put their mind to it. Maybe it's a small gesture, but its heart is in the right place.

 

[tobi!]

Yeah, but Washington was a slave owner so :/

I think woman are just looking for cases to make them seem like they're not having full right or appreciation
WHO CARES?

This makes me sad that you feel that way.
I definitely encourage you to do some research, and I say that in a kind way. I think it's extremely beneficial to realize what's going on with the world.

I wrote a synthesis essay on whether or not women are equivalent to men today, and the facts are terrible and sad... and very much true. I really, really encourage you to do some research. It would do so much good for you to realize that women are not just "looking for cases" to complain.

Yes this point is valid.
I don't think women should be on a bill just because she was president or just because there isn't one.
Women should be on bills because they deserve it, and so many do.

I'm sorry my response may seem a little bit rant-y, but women's equality is a passionate subject for me and it hurts me when people show such clear signs of misconception.

I completely agree. Just wanted to throw out the whole "living people can't be on money" thing. Though honestly if it really came down to it and we wanted a total shift in what our money looks like we should put national landmarks on both sides instead. No reason there has to be a person on them.

nahh its fine, no need to apologize
I do know that women in the past were really treated horribly but something like whose picture should be on the dollar bill its just.. so what??

I'm complaining bcuz in my country women maybe even get more right than men and they still complain, we have rights for single women, divorced women and widowed women, and they still be like 'I'll move out when I get the chance bcuz women dont get their rights' WHAT EVAN??

that aside, whatever happens in other countries I'm not really informed about, I'm just speaking about mine

 

[puppy]

if beyonce were on a bills people would be more reluctant to waste their money

 

[Born2BWild]

Andrew Jackson was the first and only President to completely pay off the national debt. For that reason alone, I think he should be on the $20 bill.

But honestly, people would spend it no matter who was on it. So...yeah.

 

[ALananhR]

I have no preference on who would be the woman to be on the twenty dollar bill, I would just love to see a women on it. The best we have right now is Sacajawea but she is on the dollar coin and most people do not use those too often.

What even?

we have rights for single women, divorced women and widowed women

Just...I don't...What? Are you complaining that they have enough rights now since they covered every base of relationship status?


John: "Dave, the women are asking for more rights"
Dave: "Those cheeky blighters! Just this morning I said it was okay for single women to leave the house unsupervised!"
John: "Yea, I know. They're ungrateful sods, aren't they!"
Dave: "These bloody women won't be happy until they're treated equally to men, the greedy pack of vermin!"
John: "Dave, they're demanding that they should be allowed to wear what they want without fear of ridicule or sexual harassment"
Dave: "What!?"
John: "And that employment should be based on ability rather than gender"
Dave: "Right, that's it, get my shotgun"
