I really hope this is sarcasm. Levelling the playing field would be giving everyone an equal chance of success via the removal of sexist legislation, for example laws that only give suffrage to half the population. Voting for women solely on the basis of their gender is fundamentally unequal, as it entails treating people differently on something they cannot reasonably control.

I agree. There have been some genuinely crazy female candidates who have run in my area in recent years. The woman who ran against the incumbent mayor was borderline crazy. People should have voted for simply because she was woman? I disagree with that sentiment

Because they're women? No. Vote on policies.

Everyone here has the right idea. We should abolish representative legislative democracy completely and allow direct, popular vote for every policy taken by a directorate that is also elected directly from the people once every short while.

Yes, yes, I get it. I'm racist and fascist because I disagree with you. Can we skip that part? I've heard it a million times before and I guarantee it won't be any different when you do it

In theory. If you want to vote "for policies", then you should vote on policies, not for people.

No. It's stupid to vote someone because of their sex. Can we please have education on politics and voting in schools so we avoid retards voting radical ideals and not someone who will help the country.
