I think not allowing women to vote and having dictators disqualifies them from democratic status.

From Webster's dictionary

democracy

n 1: the political orientation of those who favor government by the people or by their elected representatives 2: a political system in which the supreme power lies in a body of citizens who can elect people to represent them

Women are not required to vote. Hitler was elected to power. France had the revolutionary government and england had the House of commons. 1803-1815 ring bells ?

Oh .. one more war between democracies ...

The Falklands War should stick out like a sore thumb here.
UK versus Argentina

Now, you were saying ?
