Other than pissing off a whiny segment of the population, there is nothing wrong with repealing the 19th Amendment.

Not going to happen.

Perhaps we should start getting to the actual reasons people vote as they do (that's assuming this is the major concern here) and attempt to change it.

It is amazing the lengths the GOP will go to win an election.

The American electorate is not an intelligent group of people. Never has been, never will be.

They need to be treated like infants, because that is what they essentially are.

Anyway, I was looking over some Pew research studies today, and saw this quiz to see how you line up on the political spectrum(I'm right where I thought I would be, rofl).

Political Party Quiz | Pew Research Center for the People and the Press

Anyway, when i was going over the average results by sex, I noticed that women tend to be significantly more leftist than men. Which is really pretty much common sense. But, it got me thinking, how would this country have been different if women had never been allowed to vote.

Well, I can't say that we are any better off because of the woman vote. I really blame them for the welfare state that we are becoming. And the total destruction of the family and our values. While imposing strict social engineering and economic controls.

Basically, I feel that women are ruining America.

If you disagree, then please explain what the woman vote has done to help America in any conceivable way.
This is why many Republican women make me laugh... sadly the OP isn't the only Republican that thinks like this but he forgot to add gays, non-whites, new immigrants etc.

Anyone who doesn't share your views should not be allowed to vote is that it?

Hypothetical here....

Lets assume the 15th and 19th Amendments were repealed, and the country went back to landowning white males were the only ones voting.

Specifically how would that be worse than what we have now?

Once again, not going to happen.

I suggest you find a more persuasive approach.

You are not owed a demonstration of the benefit to women working.
