My mother always said giving women the vote was the stupidest thing they ever did!

With a hundred years of experience under our belts, I can only agree with your dear Mom insofar as they did so without altering the Constitution to restrain those proclivities common to women as they did with men in the original drafting of the document.

We would have been much wiser to set up a committee of successful, educated, civic minded women to advise on initiatives to protect the republic from unscrupulous women as an adjunct to the protections silently embedded by virtue of the Constitution's exclusively male oriented restraints.

As it stands, our laws laws and legal assumptions have become a very high defensive wall in an age of artillery.
