Their right to free speech was protected from federal infringement, but their right to be secure from unreasonable searches and their right to assembly was not.

Where do you come up with the notion that women had the right to free speech but not to be secure from unreasonable searches or a right to assemble? You don't see the inconsistency? You want us to believe that "the people" included women when it came to free speech but did not include them when it was about firearms or to be secure from unreasonable searches and a right to peacefully assemble.

You'll have to show us some evidence before that interpretation of the BoR can be swallowed.

The first amendment doesn’t limit the protection of speech or the press or religion. It does limit the protection of the right to assemble to “the people”. You might try reading it before asking these questions.
