in New Zealand - same - nothing to do with war

maybe you are talking about uk where men had the vote based on land ownership and wealth with additional votes based on education for example. After WWI the land requirement was removed for men but note this

The RPA 1918 also introduced votes for some women aged 30 and over but with a property qualification. To qualify for the Parliamentary franchise a woman, as well as being at least 30, had to own or rent property of a yearly value of £5 or more, or be married to a man who qualified for the local government franchise

so rather than quote someone on quora who clearly didn’t do their homework you might note that men fighting for Britain simply precipitated the change

but not basing voting on whether men fought in the war as a prerequisite (conscientious objectors were not disqualified) but rather by changing tte property provisions. The extension of voting to women with property clearly indicates that it was a property based right.

Men and woman around the world remain men and woman and that reference covers the story around the world and also mentions changes over time.

Need to look at the big picture as I am doing; not just Australia.

From memory Sweden, Singapore and even the USA ( way back for it ) have required draft to be eligible for a vote and there are more.
