women seem better at following than at reasoning with healthy skepticism or leading. evolutionarily, this seems to have worked out in favor of our species overall.

this is probably true up until the 1920s when women gained voting rights.

what is not yet proven is whether or not western society can survive the women’s vote. if women consistently vote for abdicating more and more individual rights to an increasingly-powerful state then the outcome of post emancipation voting would be an all powerful state. i tend to look favorably upon heinlein’s solution, no voting rights unless one has honorably completed a modicum of service in the military (male or female).

All western nations will eventually lose the right to vote. It appears that 2016 was the last free election we had. Europe is going strong for now but that's only due to generous welfare states. But in a generation, they'll get conquered by either the Muslims or the Russians.

Israel is having issues. The IDF is solid. Bibi is tough. But the civilian population in Tel Aviv hates what the government is doing with their military in Gaza.
