I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Women are temperamentally unfit for leadership in government. They think and act like mommies. The most important thing to them is the absence of any disagreement. The female mentality is the one where both kids in the schoolyard fight get expelled, making not the slightest effort to distinguish the bully from the defender.

That’s a tad reductionist, don’t you think? It’s like assuming that if men were barred from voting, it would bring an end to raping & robbing, pillaging & plundering or that the absence of men’s proclivities for assertiveness and conflict would armed warfare. Its far more complicated than that. It’s down to individual temperament more than anything. In your analogy, you are forgetting the enormous portions of males that have always been indecisive weenies & women who have been staunch conservatives, Christian traditionalists, constitutionalists & free marketeers. Overwhelmingly, married women vote no different than their husbands. I don’t think gender makes as big a difference as lifestyle choices.

If you have a deep faith, value marriage & life, have traditional attitudes, value an ordered society and believe that an individuals success is decided by self-determination- you will be naturally inclined toward constitutional principles, strong moral standards, free markets & individual liberties- male or female. If, however, you are a person who doesn’t value those foundational principles, you will more likely favor faithlessness, alternative morals, collectivism, opposition to a constitution and disdain for human freedom.

What’s going on now has far more to do with life choices than gender. We might be smarter to limit voting further to Americans born in the U.S. to naturalized American citizens, married men & women, those older than 25, land & property owners, people of faith, people of anglo-celtic heritage who speak English and those that can pass a strong constitutional & historical exam 😉
