The hell it didn’t.

At the time it was passed, how many women owned property by the sweat of their own brow from participation in the marketplace, as opposed to “the economics of familial persuasion?”

Fast Forward to today...

How many women are dependent, either economically, or for court ordered coercion, on “The State?” If that’s not the modern equivalent of “bread and circuses,” I don’t know what is.

When you can get the majority of voters (women) to believe they should be “respected” for any other reason than virtue, and men to defend women’s despotic privileges, your “circus” certainly isn’t at any loss for “clowns.”

It is both an oversimplification and an error in understanding to blame the 14th amendment and suggests an incomplete knowledge of the amendments related to the right to vote.

Women are not the problem. Uninformed voters who vote for giveaways and pie in the sky unworkable social justice programs are the problem. Uninformed voters come in both genders & all colors.

I suggest you also look into the issue of poll tax: https://constitutioncenter.org/interactive-constitution/amendments/amendment-xxiv
