It's not about "opinion." I want the political outcomes that will produce the best results according to my own judgement and ideology.

We already restrict suffrage by age, criminal record, and a few other factors. If we can achieve better electoral results by restricting it further, then I have no objection. It can be by gender, or by land ownership, or by military tenure, or any other factor.

It doesn't matter if anyone in the population votes. Voting has nothing to do with liberty, it is a tool by which the majority imposes their political will over the whole.

I've seen it hypothetically suggested that only those retired from the military be able to vote. This would disenfranchise me, but if the "veterans electorate" produced the results that I'd want anyway, then why would that matter? The same argument can apply to any other restriction.

The fact of the matter is that the electorate will never vote for what you want whenever you want it. Unless I'm mistaken, you are arguing to be the king of a monarchy rather than a number in a democracy.

And, how you can lump women's suffrage alongside age, property ownership and military service is beyond logic. Is this truly your point of view? If so, give me one good reason why a woman's vote should mean less than a man's, barring the property, age, or military way of thought.
