Limiting the franchise to males would not be enough to make Democracy 'work fine.'
Democracy, as a form of government, is fundamentally vulnerable to 'Demographic Shift.' A change in the voter base is indistinguishable from 'regime change.' Yes, giving women the vote altered the voter base so thoroughly that it amounted to losing the battle of the sexes-- but the same thing can happen racially, ethnically, or religiously, too. The Bantus in South Africa, Hutus and Tutsis in Rwanda, and the Islamification of Dearborn, MI all show how Democracy is vulnerable to Demographic Siege.
A besieged Democracy which cannot police who becomes a voter will not maintain societal cohesion. Athens, the progenitor of Democracy, had the casting of potsherds to banish one person a year-- literal Ostracization-- and wasn't shy about banishing people in criminal circumstances, either. (Remember-- Socrates drank poison rather than be banished for his crimes of atheism and "corrupting the youth") Where is the modern Democracy's parallel to exile or Ostracization? What would the Athenians make of Open Borders or Multiculturalism?
No way. You vastly overestimate the marginal difference between men and women in voting preferences. You also vastly overestimate the actual effect of 'elections'.
The problem is that there is a kleptocratic ruling oligarchy that rules regardless of who is 'elected'. The oligarchy gets its way regardless.
You vastly underestimate the social rot that has taken place. I'd argue that you would get the same result as now under any political form: supposed democracy, oligarchy or autocracy, precisely because of this social rot.
Any regime operates under a series of constraints, which is its environment. There are no easy solutions, and you are deceiving yourself if you think there are. Franco defeated the socialist-liberal-communist alliance in Spain, and ruled with an iron fist for 40 years, but Spain today is just as rotten with feminism and wokeness as any other country in Europe - if not more so.
We have to change the tide of history. How to do that, I do not know. But blaming it all on women, or Jews, or blacks, or whoever, is not going to cut it. The problem is far broader than that.
The social rot that has taken place is rooted in biology, because social dynamics are rooted in evolutionary psychology.
I'm not "blaming it all on women" as you say, but you are wrong about the gender differences in voting preferences. I live in Canada, where every poll says exactly the same thing: If women didn't vote Justin Trudeau would never have been elected, and that same gendered voting pattern is present in every Western democracy to one extent or another.
I have just outlined in detail why I don't agree with TheImpossible1 about a gender-wide conspiracy of women trying to exterminate men. You don't need a conspiracy to explain the differences between how men and women conduct politics: you just need biology.
I wish I had it, maybe I have a screen tucked away somewhere but there was a really great post on reddit ages back breaking down the argument for why giving women the right to vote screwed a lot of things up.
Some of the things I remember it touching on was how it encouraged division between husband and wife, as well as the absolutely huge increase in welfare spending.
Personally I just think most people shouldn't be able to vote but it gave a really compelling argument against women's suffrage.
Semi related funfact: at least in the US, most women didn't want the right to vote. It was a pet project of the rich (I'd like to say Democrat?) "progressive" women.
All the polls I've seen show huge majorities in favor of extremely restrictive coronavirus policies.
Nearly all politics that you see are based on fear, mostly unwarranted fear - from the feminist believing that a rapist is around every corner, to you believing that every woman wants to kill you, to blacks believing that tons of unarmed black men are show by the PO-lees.

Are these the same pollsters that said hillary would win the election or (any number of other tbings they're off on)?
There seems to be a very strong correlarion between the biden admin moving away from it's original middle ground perspective, into things the radical wing enjoys, and an immediate drop in it's popularity.
Aristotle was right; democracy is cringe.
I disagree.

Open borders they wouldn't care. They'd let you die on the street if you weren't a citizen.
Multiculturalism is hard to say though.
and Simps. Remember, it was a bunch of Simps that gave them the right in the first place.
Switzerland waited until 1971. Which is why, up until recently, they've been less chucked than the rest of us.

My thoughts exactly. The reason why we are seeing difference in voting patterns is do to manipulation by elites.
Women make the worst voters.

I guess you prefer Oysteroilia.
I the philosopher sigma should rule instead

ONE IN THREE WOMEN ARE RAPED ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES
Where are the other two raped?
EVERYWHERE
. All over the place.
BTW, happy to see you still commenting.
Thank you!
Almost one in four homeless people are female.

Democracy: Fake
Vaxx Pass: Gay
Switzerland: Should be the victim of at least 5 war-crimes.
"Voted"
They voted for hate speech laws too a year or two ago if I remember correctly.
People have seen the Anschluss ballots with “Ja” and “nein”, right..?
“Democracy” like this (particularly of the Central-West European “variety”) has always been a lie. We just weren’t awake to it…
I bet their elections were rigged too.
Never let Germans decide anything.
dun dun dun - another one bites the dust...
