I don't have a real answer to the topic but I can provide you with an example of supporters of this position outside of the United States:

These guys have consistently took 2% of the vote and seem to have advocated for household suffrage for a long time although I cannot confirm they do now.

I'd fully support a Lysistrata redux in such a scenario.

To be honest the kind of people who would like to see the Nineteenth Amendment repealed would probably also be happy about mass sexual abstinence.
At least, outside of marriage.

I don’t know. These people may claim they want it, but they tend to be massive hypocrites.

I don't know. I tend to think that public figures of this persuasion (like Abby Johnson) are more likely to be massive hypocrites than random commoners with the same ideas.

The thing about Lysistrata was that it wasn't just single women doing it.

I know.
In truth that kind of people would only approve for nine months. Then the birthrate would suddenly drop to zero and they would freak out.

An interesting idea! I support household unit voting but it could be equally exercised by the wife or husband, in my opinion. Glad it is being discussed.

Yeah, and we could give each household a certain number of votes in proportion to its size (so as to not dilute the influence of large families). And maybe each member of the household could cast one of the votes.

So you are proposing the right to vote for little children? Pass.
