Q: Curt: –“Are you favorable to repealing the 19th?”– @RichardArion1

Great question.

There are my opinions, my insights given the evidence, and the institute position. Those things are not always the same. I have a classical liberal and libertarian optimism of the anglos and founders that the rest of the institute does not share.

The institute’s position is that we explain the problem of the innate irresponsibility of women for capital and their innate demand for destructive hyperconsumption of it through their irresponsibility. Not that the problem is exclusively female, but that the sexes heavily bias to their natural instincts in the distribution of the voting pool.

So given those innate differences that are inviolable, we provide a spectrum of solutions from revocation, to heavy investment in education and training, to adding requirements, to adding separate house for women, and we leave the solution up to the population.

The simple version is revocation.

The hard version is a combination of heavy investment, adding requirements for demonstrated responsibility for the commons, and separate houses.

So, If you ask my opinion, I’m simply not sure, and I’m not sure because I am part of the Jones Generation between the boomers and gen x, and I am not certain I can separate my intuitions, lived experience, and understanding from influencing my choice.

So if I must answer, my personal opinion is that we would all be better off if we let women be women instead of trying to make them men. And we take a more aggressive role in constitutionally addressing the sex differences in responsibilities and inalienations to codify our observations and expectations.

Women are no demonstrably happier than in the past – much less so – and the polity is more fragile because of them. They are just very easy to sedate and influence with increases in consumption and attention and escape from responsibility for defense of the capital of the commons upon which their luxury of hyperconsumption depends.

That’s what the science says. So that’s where I stand and the institute stands.
