Nope, no difference at all in the 2016 Presidential election if white men didn't vote. Clinton only wins by nearly 200 electoral votes in that hypothetical.
Not saying I support this woman's premise, but to say it wouldn't affect things very much is...not quite accurate.

Someone explain the goalposts here. Are we talking about males not being able to vote but run for president/prime minister against a female in a field of only female voters? Not exactly a shocking revelation that a majority of females would vote for a female candidate over a male. Turn the tables and the majority of men would also vote for the man over a woman.
I'm willing to bet that if you have and all female vote and two female candidates, one mediocre and the other terrible that there's still going to be plenty of uninformed/misinformed women voting for the worser candidate. They may be female but the are still human and prone to the same idiocies as males.
