The more I think about it, the more I believe this would be good policy. It seems to me the unmarried women don't have the capacity to vote responsibly. Given the choice, unmarried women will inevitably vote for the politicians who give them free money and abortions over what's good for the country. One could argue that women should never have been allowed to vote, and that this country would be in much better shape had women never been conferred with voting rights. That's certainly a valid point, but I do believe most married women vote with their brains and not with their hearts or their genitals, e.g. Sarah Palin or Michele Bachmann. It's unmarried women who vote irresponsibly because they've been turned into a recipient class by the left. The government has taken the place of the husband and father, and now takes from productive people and pays unmarried not to work and to breed, such to the point that unmarried women are proliferating at three times the rate of married women. Ergo, not only have more people joined the recipient class, but those individuals who comprise the membership of the recipient class are procreating at three times the rate as those in the productive class. The recipient class breed like locusts because they're paid by the government to breed, while the productive class eventually dies off. Once the productive class dies off, who's going to subsidize the recipient class? Don't you see that this whole situation is unsustainable and probably would have been avoided if voting were restricted to men who owned land as the Framers originally intended? Discuss.
The OP's idea does not go far enough. We should restrict the vote to property owning businesmen. They are the people that have shown they can be responsible for themselves.
Sounds like a great idea. Why let women out of the house at all though? Just let their fathers/husbands for them, and let their votes count as if they were 3/5ths of a person.

I love people who are so god awfully terrified of those of the opposite sex they need to constantly work towards making them second class citizens heeled under control. You know that they are constantly hiding away wishing some woman besides their mother would even give them the time of day, even though those people blame women for all their problems in life.
No but sufferage should be limited to land owners.
Would we then have developers selling "suffrage lots" in the same way that some HOA's sell "membership lots" that are unbuildable but still afford the benefits of membership?
My sister takes it a step further. She thinks women should be banned from the workplace altogether, that it would be a great boost to the economy since so many jobs would open up for men and women could do a better job staying home with their kids. Scary thing is society might be better in some ways if this happened.
IIRC one of the main arguments against giving women the right to vote was that they'd always vote for the better-looking candidate.

This would be fine if men still had honor and integrity like they use to as a whole.
