Best Answer

Equal voting rights is what makes a democracy a democracy. The point is that everybody (most everybody) gets a say in some shape or form. If women couldn't vote (they didn't before 1920) that would be ingoring an enormous part of the population. A government can't just ignore an entire race or gender, if they did their would slowly fall apart (as seen in the Middle East).
