A relatively big trend in the masculine corner of the internet right now is women's suffrage. Personally, I lean on the side against the 19th amendment. However, it's not going anywhere; so I don't see the point of even thinking about it. Just hear me out.
The main issue that brought the American Revolution about was taxation without representation. Women want to vote, and I assume most of us have don't want our wages garnished by the government. So there are two solutions that I see. (Race trolls you can also replace women with [insert race here])
1. Women give up their right to vote, and in return, their income wouldn't be taxed.
2. Men give up their right to vote, and in return, their income wouldn't be taxed.
Personally, I would go with option 2. I could use the $90/wk that I'm taxed, and I know that the powers that be could give two shits about me. They just want my vote so they can be in power. Give me the money all day, everyday. Also, it would teach the strong and independent women a lesson on privilege. However, it has the potential to backfire. The shit wouldn't hit the fan until we are dead, if we are lucky.
Option 1 is interesting because of the dynamics involved. Women would have more economic power because they'd earn a majority of the money. However, without the right to vote, they'd have to put a beta on lock in order to have any political influence. It seems at the very least a fun question to troll feminists with.
Edit, Another thought that just popped in my head: I wonder how many people when posed this question would give up the right to vote to not be taxed. At that point, would the government have any power?
Which would you choose an why?
