I’m hearing the idea that women in particular shouldn’t be able to vote / hold political power a lot these days.

Many reasons are given, but I never seem to hear mine — that no one at all, man or woman, should be able to vote / hold political power.

No, the reasons all center around some perceived problem with women, or some statistic that is assumed to be an innate problem with women and not a fixable problem with society.

I’m somewhat interested to know how many of these people are raising daughters and attempting to influence women they know to have the critical thinking skills and respect for individual rights that could actually change the world for the better, with or without the problem of political power first coming to an end.

Or are they just perpetuating the problem by saying “girls will be girls” or insisting on conformity to gender roles?
