There was a day women weren’t allowed to serve on juries, or allowed to vote. Men get accused of thinking with the little head too often, but I think women vote, and worse, they adjudicate with theirs.

Generalization? Maybe. JFK doesn’t win in 1960 without TV though.

I was just thinking about how no one questioned the title of Twelve Angry Men when it came out, or apparently for a long time afterwards. The first version of that was in 1954. I wonder when male-female balanced juries became the norm.

... and worse, they adjudicate with theirs.

Of course, with men, there is the whole NOT GUILTY phenomenom :)
