As a plus side, your idea would pretty much remove all women from running for office.
Hmm. I'm struggling to think of a better notion to gatekeep political office, but I can't think of anything more effective.
Delete universal suffrage and institute a starship troopers type system where the vote is earned through potentially fatal civic service jobs.
It's a good gate, but I think we still need some additional mechanisms to filter for good policy-making. Unfortunately I am not a sufficiently clever man so I'm not sure what we'd use.
