@HavokBWR What was it you considered "prejudice" to mean? You think trying to achieve a better balance is driven purely by a hate, rather than a desire for equal rights, equal opportunities, equal treatment, equal pay, or whatnot? That doesn't sound quite right. Was the US founded on hatred, because they didn't want to pay taxes without equal representation?
Ugh. The division was then property owners vs non property owners, and non property owners were denied the right to vote. It was classist. Denying black Americans rights was racist. Denying women rights was sexist. Denying non Christians rights was bigoted (indirectly racist, since it applied mainly to blacks and natives, at the time).
Rofl. Conscription? That's your big beef? Have you asked women if they support conscription? I think you're just pulling a load out of your ass, there. So, should undocumented males be given the right to vote, since they can be conscripted?

@HavokBWR Just making sure you're not using some lesser definition, that doesn't even show up in multiple dictionaries, dumb dumb, or you'll get pissy about there not being a single definition. Prejudice: an unfair and unreasonable opinion or feeling, especially when formed without enough thought or knowledge. What's unfair or unreasonable, and without enough thought or knowledge, about trying to make things more balanced? That doesn't seem to make sense, since balance tends to go hand in hand with fairness.
Who is calling for perfectly equal outcomes (please don't be a complete idiot who says Kamala, because she didn't)? And, if they are, how is that hate, exactly? It's strange to have an economic system that requires ever increasing numbers of consumers, that then punishes the consumer makers for taking some time off. Other countries have narrowed the wage gap even more, and have parental leave for both parents. Do those countries hate men even more?
Yes, I know I brought up the example of rebalancing. You, however, found the something to gripe about, all on your own. So, should undocumented men have the right to vote, since that's the big risk and responsibility, in your eyes, even though nobody has been conscripted in almost 50 years, and there's zero indication of a war big enough to require it, in the known future?
