Well let me give you the background....me, my girlfriend, her brother, her sister, and her friend were all hanging out the other day and we were planning on doing something. Well the girls wanted to go out shopping at the mall, but me and my girlfriend's brother wanted to go to a ball game so the person vote was 2-3, but me and her brother think that men's vote should count double so it made it 4-3 and since we were the ones driving we went to the ballgame. Was this wrong? Some guys at work said it was messed up.

Ummm, well, why vote if you are going to just be unfair about it anyway? The whole idea of a vote is one person one vote - majority rules. Duh. Why not just drop them off at the mall while you go to the game?
And yeah, women's votes should count just as much. Again, if your not going to be fair about it, then why even vote? You basically forced the girls into doing what you wanted to do no matter what. Not nice.

Women's vote should definately count as much as any man's. In fact there was a whole women's movement not too long ago where women were given the right to vote equally, like men have been doing for a very long time.
It isn't fair at all that you and your other guy friend's vote were counted double, even if it was in such a small thing as deciding where to go.

In 1878, 1879, and 1887 amendments extending the vote to women persons failed with the help of a hair every time. In 1893 the reformers at very last succeeded in extending the franchise to women persons. besides the very undeniable reality that the Liberal authorities which exceeded the invoice oftentimes inspired social and political reform, the electoral invoice replaced into surely exceeded because of a mixture of personality themes and political twist of destiny. The invoice granted the vote to women persons of all races. New Zealand women persons were no longer given the right to face for parliament, besides the undeniable fact that, till 1919.

Yeah, men's votes should count double. Maybe even triple --

That's the most rediculous thing I have heard in a while. Why didn't you guys go to the game after dropping the girls off at the mall? I don't know about the rest of you ladies, but if I don't want to go somewhere... I ain't going!

Women's votes should count more because we haven't had the right to vote as long. But about your story, you should have gone your separate ways and all been happy.
