Now I know you’re a troll.
I absolutely despise modern pet culture. People treating pets like children, “fur babies.” The whole idea of a dog park is foreign to me. I’ve seen young couples pushing dogs in carriages, I shit you not!
I like animals and I’ve had pets, but its a symptom of a sick society that substitutes animals for children.
Not saying you’re like that, just made me think of it. Probably a good topic to start.

Question:
Do you find submissiveness in females to correlate to intelligence?
Edit:
Looks like I’m not the first to ask. Ignore me.

For the record, this was me.
I have nothing against women voting. I have issues with anyone who can vote without having skin in the game. I also have issues with the thought of what a captured female combatant would have to endure at the hands of her captors.
It’s not a matter of thinking women shouldn’t be allowed to vote, it’s more of a by default situation. Unless you (or anyone else) wishes women to endure captured life at the hands of an enemy combatants whom seek information from her, I view this as a kindness.

Oh dear.
Nice strategy, but completely transparent.
“If you don’t agree with my benevolent position, you want women to be tortured and raped.”.

I sympathize with this.
@EmilyQ It was discussed in the Andrew Tate thread.
I propose, or rather fantasize (because it’s not happening soon), about a stipulation (amongst others) for voting being having children, and there being one vote per child-having home. So for most homes there would be couples’ votes, and in others, a single mothers’ or fathers’ votes. In this situation, children who move lose their votes until they have children of their own.
I consider allowing women to fight in wars is terrible, more terrible than sending men considering what Andrewgen mentioned and because they’re the child-bearing sex. Men are considered expendable because they are. Women aren’t.

The problem with that is that no matter how good your intentions or sophisticated your rationale, its still a removal of other peoples rights, which amounts to subjugation.
When was the last time anything good came of removing a group or populations rights?

44% of men have had suicidal thoughts very recently= Selection bias IMO.
Most of the stats on suicidal thoughts/ideation I’ve seen are way, way lower than this.
If it was more like, 44% of men (across their lifetime) have at some stage at least fleetingly consider suicide, I could certainly believe that.
So a single mom’s vote would count twice as much as a married mom’s?

Probably much higher with that criteria.
Unfortunately, quite likely so.
You do realize thats a parody account right bro?
It’s like looking in a mirror.
Regarding women fighting in wars, I find it a hindrance at best, and at worst, what @BrickHead and @Andrewgen_Receptors said.
On the other hand, I am all for equal rights, as long as they come with equal responsabilities. So, I oppose the armed forces lowering their fitness standards to acommodate women. It isn’t good for anyone - not for the army, not for men, not for women. Maybe for the opponent.
In the eventuality of a mandatory military draft, like in the Vietnam war, what happens? Will women be drafted, same as men? If not, why not? Because they’re women? Well that’s the whole point.
'Cause I bet we wouldn’t see too many people complaining about women being left out of the draft.
Who here would like to see women being drafted en masse? I sure as hell wouldn’t. I bet women would Iike it even less.

You think a nurse, secretary, lawyer, paralegal, doctor, etc., need the same fitness level as a combat MOS? And this applies to men in those jobs as well.
I did not get that from his comment.
I believe in equality as long as each person regardless of sex can meet the physical requirements for the job that are not lowered or neutered. Sadly, that is not what is happening.
Women can do anything intellectually that a man can do - physically not so much or nearly at all.

No, but the standards should still be the same for both. Standards exist for a reason they are to make sure you can do the job and not die or get other people killed due to your inability to meet the basic physical requirements.
I feel the same way about hugely obese male police officers.

This is exactly where my opinion comes in.
Equal Rights = Equal Responsibility. Right now that is not the case, but fixing is can bring about abhorrent consequences.
Perhaps I’m more inclined to have voting rights granted to anyone who registers for the selective service (draft), regardless of gender. Knowing full well that gender will play NO role in your military job placement, anyone who does this runs the risk of being front line combatants and women likely landing in Counter Intel roles (where you’re undercover and literally sleeping with the enemy).
I think I’m more open to this. Don’t want the consequences? Don’t vote.

That’s because you didn’t take my comment in bad faith 
I got that as an extension of his proposal, which is that if you disagree, you by default support the torture, rape, etc.
Add to that voting rights contingent upon military service, and it’s just silly.
