Respectfully, I remind you that many who fought and died in the Revolutionary War were under 21 - age qua age in fighting should not be a criterion for the franchise. I would die for my family, at whatever age (USMC 69-72), and I would have expected no less from my son in defense of our country or his family.

Women as a species should not have the franchise - period. I have an educated wife (Masters level) and 2 daughters with graduated degrees and 1 son. I know the territory, have observed voting habits for 60+ years.

“Women as a species should not have the franchise”

I know that this is tongue in cheek. However it cannot be denied that U.S. Politics began to take a sharp turn towards the vulgar modern welfare state immediately following women getting the right to vote. This is a historical fact. You could argue that this would have happened anyway. I am not sure. I think that this is an interesting subject.
