Well, honestly, I’m torn. On the one hand, I believe in 100% equal rights for women. Always have, even before it was “fashionable.” OTOH, I honestly believe that giving women the right to vote seriously led this nation into the crapper. (Well, one other thing, which was allowing women to teach young children in school.)
The reason for my dislike of their voting is because the vast majority of women emote rather than analyze. Thus, they are very easily swayed by emotional pleas made to them. (For example, Antifa is made up primarily of white college educate women.) And allowing those emoting, ultra-liberal women free access to our young has proven to be disastrous.
Now, I cannot reconcile one position with the other, so I live with a kind-of schizoid view on it all.
From time immemorial, women teach the children when they're young---but ancient cultures then sent the boys on to "schoolmasters"---about ages 10-12 (in Sparta boys were taken from their mother at 7) ---and the schoolmaster was always a man.
As a female teacher--who has seen / taught with / argued with other (mostly liberal) female teachers in the school system---I have to agree with you.
Neal Boortz used to say the same thing---that the country went to H when women were given the vote.
But I think it was more than that, and that to find the source of our current madness you have to go a little further back....to the mid- to late 1800's.
During those years, philosophies were introduced and/ or became widely accepted in the
colleges---where mostly young
men only were being allowed to attend at that time---that were completely against the Judeo-Christian principles America was founded on and that most of the American public still widely held as "givens"--
Instead of God as creator---Darwin with evolution (he was a son of a Baptist minister, and I think his rebellion against his father's faith greatly colored his objectively in his "research")
Instead of the laissez-faire capitalism of Adam Smith---John Maynard Keynes with his proposals that are the philosophical foundation for socialism and communism
Instead of humans having immortal souls and being responsible before God (Bible)---Sigmund Freud telling us man is the product of his inner drives, his (evolutionary-formed) physical needs and hormones (though they didn't call them by that name at the time), and his environment (his society, his parents, his upbringing)--and is the helpless victim of them, not responsible for what he does
Instead of God as Supreme Ruler over the universe, and governments among men are to be reflections of his authority, ruling according to His principles---Karl Marx introduced the revolution of communism, "supposedly" to create a society directed by and serving the
people--and in so doing created the most repressive regimes against their own people that the world has ever seen.
It was these philosophies--gaining traction in the upper echelons of the "elite" of the day, the "educated" in late 1800's society / colleges (especially teacher's colleges) / government---that, like yeast in bread, began spreading insidiously through all of society, communicating their poison eventually down to the lowest schoolchild in kindergarten today.
ETA:
In the late 20th century--as decades of these godless, socialist, marxist ideas became the "norm" among those running education systems---the standards fell more and more. The elites didn't WANT the "lower classes" educated---they subscribed to the Darwinian idea of "survival of the fittest"--and saw themselves as "fittest"--so only THEY and their children really needed to know things--- it was enough for these "lesser animals" if they merely had enough education to get a job. Why did they need to know about the country's founding principles? Why should they need to know history? (especially any history of philosopies that ran counter ot the ones they were being taught as truth)? Even with the backlash as parents realized their children were being short-changed, and the supposed "improvements" of adding "world-class" education standards and "baccalaureate programs"---essentially the students were still being taught only the philosophical rot of the late 1800's-philosophers and "fluff" (ex.--women's studies, etc.)
So why should today's kids---or even their parents and grandparents---products of the same
decades-long brainwashing---have any compunctions about doing away with the electoral college? They have no idea what it even is--what the purpose for its creation was---nor what will happen when it's gone.
After all, they were never taught the history about the "pure democracy" of the Greeks--and what it did to them (constant civil wars between nation-states)---and the stability of the Roman REPUBLIC---which established such a strong foundation for Rome that they held on over 400 years even after power-seeking emperors took control.
