He could be arguing that US needs to take away the right to vote from men.
Not take it away for good; just take it away like mom takes away television privileges for a week so I can learn my lesson.

A fair point to that is women's voting and leadership tend to lead to more peaceful and fruitful governance

I feel that while this is true, it does a significant amount of whitewashing of the women who support people like Trump, which especially when it comes to white women is not an insignificant number.

Protesters were heard shouting “shame on you” right before DeLemus was seen pointing at protesters screaming “Shame on you, shame on all of you. Shame on you, killing babies.” It then escalated to her pointing at the crowd, repeatedly screaming “You’re a murderer!”
DeLemus also shouted, “I murdered my own baby!” referring to an abortion she had decades ago and has publicly declared her regret about in the past. In 2012, DeLemus recounted an abortion she had when a bill was up for discussion on instating a 24-hour waiting period, AP reported.

Many anti-choice women are convinced that their need for abortion is unique — not like those “other” women — even though they have abortions for the same sorts of reasons. Anti-choice women often expect special treatment from clinic staff. Some demand an abortion immediately, wanting to skip important preliminaries such as taking a history or waiting for blood test results. Frequently, anti-abortion women will refuse counseling. Some women insist on sneaking in the back door and hiding in a room away from other patients. Others refuse to sit in the waiting room with women they call “sluts” and “trash.” Or if they do, they get angry when other patients in the waiting room talk or laugh, because it proves to them that women get abortions casually, for “convenience”.
A few behave in a very hostile manner, such as calling clinic staff “murderers.” Years ago, a clinic counselor in British Columbia told me that one of her patients went into the procedure room apparently fine with her decision to have an abortion. During the abortion, at a stage when it was too late to stop the procedure, the woman started screaming “You murderers!” and other invectives at everyone in the room.
While it’s very true that women’s voting and leadership tends to lead to more peaceful outcomes, there’s still sadly a significant number of women who seem almost giddy at being part of the problem, like Ginni Thomas, for example.

..Yes, individuals are different from each other and the aggregated sum shows a tendency for women being better at governance than men.
This obviously doesn't mean that there are no men that are good at governance or women who are worse as you point out.

I’d love to see some statistics on that.

Go wild on google.scholar.com and you will find plenty to read. :)
Useful terms might be "women (duh)", "gender", "impact", "governance", "politics", "environment", "peace" etc
Also private companies reports more long-term benefits with a majority of women board members so you might want to look for that as well

Screw it. Take away the right to vote from both men and women. Only those born intersex will have the franchise!
Now there is an interesting thought experiment. What would that kind of government look like?
