For me it all goes back to the family unit. One vote per landed household. Women are matriarchial thinkers. They are biologically and spiritually programmed to prioritize emotions and feelings and to seek to produce an environment where all can get along. That is not a good tool set for making decisions about the rights of others. Men are patriarchial thinkers and are programmed to prioritize logic and facts and innately recognize justly-wielded, hierarchical authority. That is a much better tool set for making life and death decisions. Men seek to solve a problem, and either solve the problem or go to war. Women seek compromise, even if it means selling their childrens' future. The woman's skills are designed to work within the framework and boundaries set by patriarchial authority. We can compromise and find comfort *if* standards and values are maintained. Of course these are all generalizations that can be twisted and abused and there will always be exceptions. But by and large that is reality.
