Democracy is not inherently valuable. It doesn’t matter whether a government was elected or came to power by other means.
What matters is to what degree a government interferes with personal freedom, and especially with sexual freedom.
A weak government is better than a strong government. A weak government is less likely to interfere with personal freedom.
People often think that democratically elected governments are weaker than dictatorial governments, because in a democracy, people assume, power is shared.
But in fact, dictatorial governments are often just preoccupied with staying in power, and do not interfere much with the lives of citizens.
On the other hand, many democratically elected governments are totalitarian. They assume total control over people's lives.
The Nazi Party rose to power through democratic elections, and the resulting government was totalitarian to the extreme. Iran holds democratic elections for certain offices, yet functions as a totalitarian theocracy.
And the US is more intrusive in personal affairs than Morocco.
An inherent tendency in Western democracies is to become increasingly intrusive. Ever more things get regulated by law. And anything sexual is a prime target of the drive to regulate.
The mechanism is simple. People are interested in sex more than anything else. Anything sexual receives prime attention. Knowledge about the sexual lives of others generates jealousy. Politicians exploiting sexual themes get the most attention. It’s their chance to get elected. In any population, people who are provided with information about the sexuality of others, and who react with jealousy, will want that sexuality regulated out of existence.
Furthermore, any regulation of male sexuality will enhance the value of sexuality as a female resource.
From the perspective of sexual economics, men can gain more than women from a weak government. But even if it results in a weak government, men have little to expect from democracy.
