"Women voters gave us Prohibition but have been largely silent since then. It's overdue for the weaker sex to screw up America again. Hillary is the vehicle, and it may well happen."

And a remarkable feat it was for women voters to bring about Prohibition, considering the Eighteenth Amendment was ratified January 16, 1919, taking effect one year later on January 16, 1920,... more than six months before the Nineteenth Amendment granting equal Suffrage was ratified. How women voters brought about Prohibition, before they could even vote, remains one of the truly great historical mysteries to this day ... considering their absence!

Prohibition was created by an amendment, so no one "voted" for it save the Congress and the state legislatures. However, women were very active in the temperance movement that lead to Prohibition. On the other hand many men lead the charge too.

They voted with their... you know...

I don't think Prohibition was a bad thing at all. It was certainly Constitutional and ratified properly, unlike the 16th Amendment.

Prohibition was actually ENFORCED, unlike a lot of other parts of the Constitution.

Perhaps someone can tell me how my 2nd Amendment RIGHTS end at the New York city limits and why anyone would push for a gun grabber from New York as a GOP candidate!

Though Jack really shot himself in the foot with that one, it should be noted that non-voting, "progressive" mostly upper middle class and wealthy women were the driving force behind the temperance movement and the ruinous Progressive agenda.
