I would gladly give up my right to vote if all women in the US gave up their rights, too.

I'll match you somewhat: I'd gladly go back to the system where all voters had to be 25 years old, male and property owners, even if it meant I couldn't vote either, as a male. (In reality, what I would do is make damn sure I owned property, which, I suspect, is the original intention).

Absolutely correct about males being property owners, because then they have a vested interest in the outcomes of elections. Deadbeats and freeloaders would have no say. Also repeal the 17th amendment so the state legislatures elect senators. That would automatically return more power to the states.
