Unfortunately a number of narratives about women currently gaining some steam in some sections of society ascribe traits of the feminist movement to women in general. The phrase "Feminism is merely the organized expression of womens nature" is sometimes thrown around.
If you accept it as true, it does become a matter of deciding whether to endure civilization decline or deal with women somehow by removing or limiting their ability to affect society.

If you go and read the red pill and MGTOW stuff on women eventually you understand where proposals like this come from. It makes sense, if you accept certain premises.
The problem is that those premises are largely unproven, or based on generalization. Appeals to biology are sometimes made, but in likewise asserted and unproven ways.

I posted a while back a link to a series of posts on "Female solipsism." which is pretty eye opening if you want to know the modern philosophy behind the removal of womens rights. This proposal comes down to the idea that women aren't capable of having the vote because they will only use it in childish and selfish ways that benefit them and other women, while men vote based on what is good for a nation and the tribe as a whole. (often with evolutionary psychology explaining why this is the case in their opinion.)

https://www.google.co.uk/?gfe_rd=cr&ei= ... +solipsism

For a bunch of stuff.

It also underpins the idea that women aren't truly capable of rational thought, and thus can't be trusted with decisions.

The issue comes from the fact that female solipsism is either outright denied and called sexist to talk about, or called an inherent biological function. Nobody seems to be suggesting that maybe we're raising women to have certain toxic traits.

There is an out of control trolley speeding towards Jeremy Bentham, who is tied to the track. You can pull the lever to cause the trolley to switch tracks, but on the other track is Immanuel Kant. Bentham is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Critique of Pure Reason. Kant is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Principles of Moral Legislation. Both men are shouting at you that they have recently started to reconsider their ethical stances.

Can you demonstrate that the cost of womens allegedly poor voting decisions is higher in terms of material and manhours to deal with, than would be the cost of surveillance, control, and segregation necessary?


Can i prove it? No, it's hypothetical. and in any case, it would require huge economic calculations that i'm in no way capable of providing in a reliable manner.

Just don't provide voting cards to people with vaginas, problem solved.

Please treat your fellow human beings based on their character and virtue rather than birthright. We should be compassionate and tolerant to all no matter race or gender or sexuality. Because it doesn't really matter in the end as there will always be exceptions to every group.

Could it maybe be that women will be reason Donald Trump doesn't get elected is why you dont want them to vote? Plus you also said everything i needed to know when you said Russia is how you'd like the US to be.

I didn't say i wanted it to be like russia, but i do want it to be MORE like russia. Similar tactics and willingness to use Imperial power to obtain resources and lifestyle to our own people at the expense of other nations.
