But women are politically retarded.

Restrict voting rights to property owners. It's based on merit and biased against communism. On top of that, a woman with her own property is every bit as deserving her vote as a man.

If we did that, the ruling class could buy up a bunch of land and it would be very hard to disrupt.

The most troubling issue is age. 18 is too low, and they want to go lower. My thinking is this - just match it to requirements for office. You have to be 35 and a citizen of the USA to be President, so that should be your requirements for voting as well. If you can't hold the office, why should you be able to decide who's in the office?

Exemption for military, of course. If you're willing to serve, you get to vote earlier.

If it became that bad we would swap to taxing rent, suddenly everyone renting out a room gets a vote. Government is always happy about more taxes so passing it would be easy even if megacorps did resist it. Of course you could always take free housing in exchange for your ability to vote.

I guess thats one way to put it. Really its that women tend to let their emotions rule over them, they vote and think in line with their emotions. Crying kids, mean words, social pressure can all easily sway their mindsets.

Instead of critically thinking about what is best, they let their feelings guide them.

At the end of the day though i lay blame at the feet of weak men who have allowed women to walk all over them and think through emotion aswell.

Conservative women with conservative men in their lives are better off.

Agreed, but it goes deeper than emotion. They are philosophical zombies with a tint of solipsism. Their mental process (which includes political ideas) consists of the conjectural question "how would I behave if other people besides me actually existed?"

This mental process is excellent for social nesting and raising their children (an extension of themselves). It is positively miserable for maintaining a cogent civilization.

That doesnt seem like a problem at all. Empathy is part of why western civilization is so much better than robotic civilizations like china or barbaric ones like african states. That question sounds like the age old "treat others as i would like to be treated."

Empathy and altruism, which stem from emotion, is only bad if it passes into pathological territory like it has for the west. Disregarding statistical facts and trying to treat everyone as if they are inherently nice and good. That a hug will bring world peace.

Unless ive misinterpreted what you mean.

No, we agree. It's good when women behave like women, but when they attempt to take up the roles of men, they usher in the pathological and, frankly, apocalyptic scenario that you describe.
