(Ok, so I paraphrased a bit!) :)
Taxpayers, veterans and landowners should get a weighted ballot. Perhaps veterans given a ballot worth 2X for one example. Everyone should vote but some voters are more important than others. IMO anyway.
ANN COULTER reasons it this way:
“If we took away women’s right to vote, we’d never have to worry about another Democrat president. It’s kind of a pipe dream, it’s a personal fantasy of mine, but I don’t think it’s going to happen. And it is a good way of making the point that women are voting so stupidly, at least single women.”
I didn’t read the article, but thought I’d repeat what I’ve posted in the past quite often when a thread like this warrants the post.
My wife believes that women shouldn’t have the vote simply because as she states of the absolutely stupid reasons they vote for. Mostly emotional, impulsive.
Records indicate the women’s vote successfully sicced upon our society Carter, Clinton, and Obama to name a few.
I don’t argue with her.

Anne Coulter made more or less the same point. Votes for women means big government and income redistribution.
When women began voting nationally, the large majority of woman voters were married and voted pretty much as their husbands did. But in the last thirty to forty years or so, with more unmarried women and more women reliant on Big Brother, there has been a noticeable "gender gap" in the presidential vote, with women significantly more likely to vote Democrat.
If I'm not mistaken, no Democrat in a presidential race has won the men's vote since Lyndon Johnson! So it's reasonable to think that the country would have been spared quite a number of left-leaning policies had it not been for the Nineteenth Amendment.
Oh, goody. Another “Wimmin R Evil” thread on FR. I’m shocked.
You’ve got to admit that without the women’s vote we probably wouldn’t be falling into a marxist cesspool.
Using data from 1870 to 1940, Lott and Larry Kenny studied how state government expenditures and revenue changed in 48 state governments after women obtained the right to vote. Women were able to vote in 29 states before women's suffrage and the adoption of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution. Lott found that the impact of granting of women's suffrage on per-capita state government expenditures and revenue was startling.[29]
His research indicates that women's suffrage had a bigger impact on government spending and taxes in states with a greater percentage of women. Even after accounting for variables such as industrialization, urbanization, education and income, per capita real state government spending, which had been flat or falling during the 10 years before women began voting, doubled during the next 11 years. The increase in government spending and revenue started immediately after women started voting in national elections and 19 additional state elections.

My mother always said giving women the vote was the stupidest thing they ever did!
If there is a single nation where women can’t vote, that is NOT a third world hellhole, I would like to know which country it is. You look at the nations with the highest standards of living, and they don’t share Peterson’s view of women. (I guess he never heard of the Queen of the South).
