My point was that Coulter's comment -- "if women couldn’t vote, we’d never see a Democrat in the White House again" -- wasn't very well thought out and couldn't literally be true.
Of course it was meant more as a one-liner, but if you take it seriously it doesn't reflect how parties actually behave most of the time.
About your controversy: you can say that giving women the vote made things worse and debased the electorate.
But if one gives a vote to all adult males, one can't rightly deprive equally or unqualified adult females of the same right.
To take the vote away from this or that group creates a precedent for disenfranchising one's own group.
I'm not uncomfortable with a widely distributed franchise. It may make for some problems, but taking the vote away from people would probably be worse.
