The easier solution would be for men to just strip women of their rights. The world was getting along just fine before women were given the right to vote and were allowed to hold public office and all of that.

Nobody has voting rights. Rights are those human actions that do not impose upon others. Rights cannot be granted, only infringed.

Believing it just to interfere with others due to the will of some majority is the root of the problem.

My rights are not subject to a vote, and neither are yours.

Rights are those human actions that do not impose upon others.

That would mean there are no rights.

You're trying to talk about inalienable natural rights, of which the right to institute our own government is included. But because you're an anarchist, you refer to them as simply "rights" to discount the existence of the civil/legal rights which can be set by those governments. And which are subject to vote.

How do you have any right to govern the behavior of other people other than to prevent them from infringing upon your own rights?

Voting does not make the illegitimate legitimate. It didn't make slavery moral, it didn't make Hitler's aggression just and it doesn't make taxation acceptable.

Nations have the right to govern the behavior of themselves. They have this right the same way you'd say individuals have the right to anything: "Because that's the way it is."

The just powers of government are derived from the consent of the governed. You're right, this doesn't necessarily imply voting, but if the people institute a government which functions by vote, then that's the mechanism which grants or revokes legal rights. I don't think slavery or taxation or "Hitler's aggression" are relevant to that.

Doesn't exactly work the way things are going either is it?

The world will never be perfect, we can only strive to make it better and one of the best ways to make the world better is to respect each others consent.

Also I agree with you. The issue is they can and do infringe on our rights and we lack the ability to do a damn thing about it. It sucks.

Sadly, there is truth to this. I'm a woman.
