Women are naturally submissive to strong authorities especially in their teenage/young adult years because that's when they are most fertile and natural they should be submissive to men in order to procreate. Our society has hacked into this aspect of women such that women have replaced men with the State and see the State as the strong authority they submit to. As women get older and are no longer fertile, this aspect of their personalities does wean off but women generally do submit to strong authorities far more than men do which make them perfect for communism and totalitarian regimes.
Men are not ready for politics until they are about 30 years old. Men just don't have the intellectual maturity until then. Women never truly get the intellectual maturity to vote (besides some outliers) and should never have been allowed to vote (because giving all women the right to vote simply because a few women with the adeptness to vote exists is a huge mistake).
Fact of the matter is that voting should be restricted to men who are 30yos at the very least though I would argue for more restrictions. There's a reason authoritarian communists/leftists want 16yos to vote because they know they can easily brainwash these demographics toward their goals. The more women, more immigrants and more young people who vote, the easier it is to exploit the society without the people who truly know what's going on (men who are natural citizens for a couple generations at least with some wealth and ties to the community such as military service or owning land/business over 30yo) being able to do anything about it.
What I cannot comprehend is that people rightfully think people should have to proof their capability to drive a car and pass a test for it, yet believe any idiot should have the right to vote - which IF democracy wasn't rigged would influence the life of everybody inside and even outside the country.
Everybody man or woman should first proof to have the mental capability to cast a vote before doing so. Unfortunately then again, who makes the test and what ulterior motive might that person have? It seems you can ever only choose between different evils.
Yeah, you can't make an exam/test because that's too easily corrupted. You need to instead pick something set in stone regarding characteristics of a person which hopefully correlated with quality. Ultimately, you only want good moral people with some semblance of intellectual capacity to vote.
I would suggests the following criteria:
Men only
30yo minimum
Must have biological children
Must have 4 years minimum voluntary military service
Must be a net positive tax contributor
Must be at minimum a 4th generation citizen
These are qualities that are harder to gain as a whole than an "exam", which can easily be designed specifically to get the outcome the corrupt people want.
This would very much go against my understanding of equal opportunity.
Your first point without any further consideration just erases 50% of the populace just on the basis that they have been born as women.
The age I can get behind as with it comes wisdom.
Must have children is kind of BS. A person no matter how stupid can have children, while others choose not to. Why would you exclude them from participating in democracy on that fact alone?
With that military service thing we are getting into Starshiptroopers territory. While I do see the merit in having a requirement for a person to having served the community in order to participate in it, making it dependend on military service alone will lead to cultivating an electorate of military minded people over time - not something I would be fond of. Actually the Terran Federation does offer civil alternatives to military service for aquiring citizenship (right to vote).
Postive tax contributor - no questions asked. If you are living on the backs of others, why should you be able to decide where the journey goes?
The 4th generation thing isn't necessary as long as the other requirements are met. A person who is pulling their own weight is what is needed, not their family tree.
In the end everybody should have the chance of meeting the requirements. If they fail, then that is the outcome. But barring a group of people from the get go will only lead to problems down the road.
