I don't have any solution but I want to point out that women had no franchise, no vote, no education, not much of anything in ancient Greece -- except for the heteirae, sort of like Geishas I guess. Wives had to live out their lives in the women's quarters.

A friend of my parents, many years ago, admitted that he had voted for Goldwater and then gone on to vote for George McGovern. My father was flabbergasted and asked how could the same person cast those two votes? He answered that he never listened to what they were saying, he just tried to discern which candidate was a more honest person, and that one got his vote. It would be a great system in theory, but his example showed that it meant voting for the loser.
