There are plenty on this very site! Furthermore there are many websites devoted to repealing the 19th Ammendment. These are all conservative/republican men, though not surprisingly men with any political clout, for obvious reasons. I cannot name a Republican of any note who has said women shouldn't have the vote, because if one had, he would not be of any note! He would have committed political hari-kari! Funny how that works isn't it? :)
Sure, I agree with that, if we would really follow the concept of individual liberty, there could be no "minorities." Yeah, I believe that the concept of individual liberty has allowed the U.S., and before it, the UK, to have reached prosperity and greatness unparalleled in history.
True, most of the great leftists have usually been males, as have the great classical liberals and advocates of individual liberty, or the great musicians, chefs, or anything else, for that matter.
I kind of think there is a female tendency to sympathize with socialism because women natually look for a protector, and then, while being mothers, spend a good bit of their time regulating someone else's life (children's) in minute and intimate detail.
However, I might attempt to get off of the thin ice onto which I have walked by noting that my mother was, and my wife and daughter are, staunch, no nonsense conservatives.
In fact my daughter cast her first vote for W. She had registered and done it without so much as discussing it with me, I was quite proud of her.
Urinals would be banned along with the high-flow flush toilets.
What If Women Ran the World?
When I look at the news these days, I can't help but wonder: Wouldn't we be a lot better off if women were in charge
How about every person run the world as they see fit so long as they abide by the brief constitution posted below. Obviously most people would be ruling their own world which in turn would benefit the rest of the world in their own small way. Other people would become giants in the realm of bring technology advancements to market. In that way they'd rule a bigger world while brining more benefits to people and society.

Introduction
Voting for the lesser of evils always begets evil. How can so many people thinking they're right be so wrong?
Before voting for a politician make sure that they address Issue 101. Demand that of media outlets too.
Issue 101 -- The House of Cards
How is it that people and society in general have prospered and increased their well being for decades yet the politicians and bureaucrats say we must have another 3,000 laws and regulations each year on top of the 100,000+ laws already on the books... That without them people and society face "disaster". People and society have done quite well without next year's 3,000 new federal laws and regulations. Why all of a sudden can people and society not continue to do quite well without them? The fact is, they'd be better off without 99% of them.
So who really benefits from 3,000 new laws and regulations each year? -- not to mention state laws and regulations. Politicians and bureaucrats. They create boogieman problems and with a complicit media towing their boogieman problems cast a net of false fear and unwarranted despair in people.
Quite literally, they create problems where none exist. They're sick in that they chose to frighten people and foist false despair on them and do that to collect their unearned paychecks. Their job security is predicated on deceiving as many people as possible.
It cost more than just two trillion dollars a year to fund government abuse. That abuse hinders people's development, especially children being indoctrinated rather than educated, harms the economy and causes boom and bust cycles in markets.
Flushing that money down the toilet -- save for military defense spending -- would be better for individuals, their families and society. That's a different way of saying, can't we just pay congress to stay home and not leave their houses. Surely we'd be better off. Politicians and bureaucrats are sick and need your help.
Fully integrated honesty is key. That we have the government we have -- delivered by both Democrats and Republicans -- that has gone so far off course from the government the founders created, is a product of irrationality and dishonesty. Changing the laws via the system is almost completely useless. Politicians create dozens of unconstitutional laws before even considering repealing just one unconstitutional law. That is not a system -- it's a quagmire of deception, irrationality, fraud and abuse.
Politics is not the solution -- politics is the problem.
Who are the parasites?
Who are the producers?
Ostracizing the parasitical value destroyers
Praise the value producers
Step one for helping politicians and bureaucrats:
Get your head out of their sandbox.
Step two: Demand that they address Issue 101. Do the same with the media.
Step three: Ostracize government officials that fail to honestly address Issue 101. Do the same with the media.
Step four: Champion the science and business communities -- often under relentless attack by the government -- that create jobs, necessities, luxuries and ever greater advancements that support human life, family and society.
