1:42 “Men get a rough deal, SOMETIMES”. Classic mainstream minimising of the treatment of men. He’s not pandering to the female vote at all, is he, not one little bit ?

“no taxation without representation” The key change in the idea of the franchise in the 1918 act was the break with the idea that the franchise was a right with no concomitant responsibility. The immediate reason was the unprecedented, for Britain, introduction of forced labour in the form of conscription to fill the depleted ranks of the Army. Women ratepayers had in fact had votes in local government for more than half a century. Women got the vote on the backs of the young men conscripted to fill the trenches. The UK soon drops conscription in peace and there seems little prospect of the USA system of “selective service” that makes the right to vote conditional on conscription, for men. So I’d advocate for a return to the franchise being limited to tax payers.

Oops the break was with the idea that the franchise was linked to the responsibility to pay tax to the government one was voting to form. Now we have those who take from tax payers with the same vote as those saddled with the responsibility to pay.

Men do what I call the 5D jobs (dirty, dangerous, difficult, disposible and dependable). You tend to find few women wanting this type of responsibility.
