Feminism has little to do with homosexuality. If anything, two homosexual men would still have two votes under the previous system, potentially giving them a bigger voice. There is evidence to suggest that homosexual men have more influence than homosexual women (the stereotype of the rich DINK gay couple), which means there's little influence from feminism.

I disagree on psychological grounds. Men and women are very different mentally and emotionally, we know this here. When women gained the vote, they tended to vote their biology, for gentle, inclusive policy's. Of course this didn't happen over night, but can you imagine ever passing a gay-anything-act under a system with only male voters?

Definitely not bulletproof. I'm not going to dissect everything that's wrong with it but here are two examples.

It is fundamentally not recognizing genetics. The difference between individuals, families, and nations, could be thought of as a genetic one, and both the conservatives and the liberals that the author writes about are ignoring that. Its fine that he speaks to their positions on the issue, but he fails to note that women should not be given the right to vote, ultimately, because it reduces their genetic representation in the next generation, leading to the destruction of the nation, families, and finally the individual as well.

He doesn't understand economics. He believes, correctly, that double the workers will half the wages, but doesn't recognize that it also doubles productivity; if you make twice as many cars, they cost half as much. The real driving factor behind purchasing power stagnation is inflation a la the federal reserve.

Women do not double productivity.

He also says that it means there's twice the workers looking for the same number of jobs. But, a lot of jobs exist to provide services to workers, so more workers = more jobs to a degree.

Lots of holes overall and imo the biggest one is that you can't change how things are now. It's impossible to now strip women of voting/working rights unless everything burns to the ground and gets rebuilt. So, time to think of a new strategy instead of lamenting the past.
