It’s not so much the women who are the problem voters.

It’s all the people that get to vote even though they have very little skin in the game.

Only property owners who have paid taxes for several years should have the vote, those that somehow exist without property and without working and paying taxes should not vote.. be they male or female.

Certainly no one on any sort of public assistance should vote in any election.

No immigrants should be allowed to vote, only their progeny...if they pay taxes and own property.

Also, no one should be able to win the presidency with less than 50% of the vote... there should be a runoff between the two top candidates... this is a constitutional flaw IMO.

You forgot that we need to go back to Senators being elected by their respective state legislatures; and removal of the income tax (too much opportunity for graft, too much centralization of power).

At the VERY least go either to a flat tax, or a spending-based tax with NO loopholes, and an $5,000 or $10,000 exemption for food.

I have maintained for 40+ years that if you accept a ride in the wagon you give up your right to vote. ONCE RIDING IN THE WAGON YOU WILL FOREVER VOTE FOR THE PARTY HANDING OUT THE GOODIES.

The following quotation has been attributed to Tytler, although it has also been occasionally attributed to Alexis de Tocqueville:

A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship.
