The problem with not letting women vote is it returns us to the whole reason why the colonies revolted against the king, remember “No taxation without representation”? As a female, who owns land, who works, and pays taxes, I would be without representation in a government that takes money from me in order to basically commit fraud (at this point) and give my hard earned tax dollars to those who are less deserving. Not allowing me, because of my gender, not vote, even though I am contributing to the system in the form of taxes is —taxation without representation. Why should a male, who does not own land, does not work, and does not pay taxes, get to vote?
