Prohibition was a law for women.

The temperance movement was largely pushed along by women. When they got their right to vote in 1920, it was also the first major law that this voting block pushed.

It failed, or course, just like so many other ridiculous/idiotic laws fail, go ignored or are selectively enforced. These are laws to appease certain groups, they make “political sense,” but make little rational sense when it comes to the nature of man, trying to enforce them, if that is really what the majority wants (when they figure out what that means for them)...

And it did give us Capone.
But what do we have now?
