Stereotypes are often based on reality. Smart Asians, for example. They never represent every single member of the group, but they often give an accurate statistical picture.

You are hung up on the brainwashing that there are no differences between men and women. There are STARK psychological differences between them, and those differences make one group better suited to guide the functions of government better than the other, assuming we want the American model of individual freedom.

Another way to look at it is simple cause and effect. What effect do we get if we allow women to vote? So far, we have CLEARLY gotten a more leftwing, collectivist approach to government.

If the conditioning you have received all your life prevents you from that simple reasoning and observation, I’m not sure how I can talk you out of it.

No. I think men & women are very different.
They complement each other.
I’m just not dumb enough to think women are unable to vote competently. Both men & women are often poorly educated and do not understand the stakes and the end games. The educational system in the USA has become debased in order that America’s citizens can shoulder their civic responsibilities.
Your example is a joke and does not advance your argument in the least.
There are many smart asian people but that does not mean all Asians are smart. The normal curve for Asians is shifted about 5 points to the right compared to the Caucasian curve. That means many, many Asian people are less intellectually gifted than many Caucasians. People are individuals and the normal curve expresses a truth in aggregate but not in specifics. Asian people are so successful, not based on intelligence, but on work ethic and ambition both of which are highly engrained in their culture. That is a much more important factor than a slightly shifted normal curve. We are more than our raw intelligence. Stereotypes are only good for jokes. Anyone who tries to use them to make judgements about people is fooling themself.
