I would be 100% on board with repealing the 19th. It will destroy us. There's a reason almost every civilization and religion throughout time banned females from certain roles/positions. I realize there are millions of exceptions (aka perfectly reasonable and intelligent women who actually 'think' rather than only 'feel'), and I'm sure in ancient times they did too, and maybe felt sorry for the minority of women who had their heads on straight…but they knew most could not be trusted in those roles. In general, women SUCK at staying informed, having healthy priorities for a society, and at voting. Sorry, my honest opinion. For every Annie88, there's at least 20 women who just have zero clue.
This is what happens with out of control hubris.
How does the female vote make our country better?
How does the male vote? Black vote? White vote? Jewish vote? Muslim vote?
Male vote
You're pinning it all our problems on the 19th Amendment but the basis of our destruction was 1913 which saw the 16th and 17th ratified and the creation of the Federal Reserve. Since 16 and 17 are before 19 I'd say those things were brought about exclusively by men. The Progressive Era definitely started long before the 19th Amendment was ratified. Yes white liberal women are a problem but let's not pretend we're here exclusively because women are allowed to vote.

I am all in favor of repealing the 16th & 17th amendments (have been since the early 80s.). The 19yh is irrelevant as the constitution did not prohibit women from voting. WY allowed women to vote in 1869.
Return the power of the Senate to the states and eliminate federal direct taxation of citizens. Require each state to fund the federal government based on its percentage of the Electoral college. This would make each representative more accountable to its district.

The framers put article five into the constitution for a reason. It's a check on the federal government by the states. I think it's quite clear that Congress is derelict in their duties. It's time we put pressure on them to clean up the mess they have created. It can be done with three simple and easy amendments.
1. Term limits
2. Single appropriation bills
3. Ban stock trading in Congress
We all know Congress will not willfully do this on their own and that's ok. What's not ok is not exercising our right as citizens to counter this behavior. These are 90-10 issues. I firmly believe we can get 34 states to agree on these three needed amendments. We must utilize our power to check the federal government. We can do it. What's odd is it's the easiest time in our nation to accomplish this task with rise of technology and communication and yet likewise the most difficult as we are pushed and pulled in some many directions.
To quote braveheart, "unite!" Let's exercise our right to check the endless powers of the federal government.
