...you aren’t lumping we Land-owning, Educated, Informed, Gun-toting, Bible-thumping, God-Fearing Conservative WOMEN in that group, are you?

A couple of thoughts: 1) voting has become a sort of lottery where you get a ticket for breathing (note 1) and your winnings depend on aligning yourself with the most powerful special interest bloc, but originally it was a check on the power of government — a way for the governed to withdraw their "consent" if necessary. In its original form, everybody didn't NEED to vote.

2) In a country where the women do not consider their menfolk to be class enemies and patriarchal oppressors, said women tend to be in stable families, with husbands and fathers, you know — in that case every married man gets an extra vote. More, if he has voting age daughters living at home.

The Founding Fathers knew these things, of course.

Note 1: This rule (like most rules) does not apply to Democrats, of course. Breathing is optional for them.

“The Founding Fathers knew these things, of course.”

What? Our Constitution isn’t a living, breathing document, subject to the whims of the ‘Rats? LOL!

(I was just giving him a hard time and stirring the pot, as usual...)
