“Let’s face it: There was a reason we didn’t let non land owners, foreigners, the young, and women vote.”
You know I had to chuckle at your response because I often have thought the same thing even though I am a woman. Women can be so vicious and act almost entirely from emotion, electing candidates who they either find attractive or supportive of feminist goals. Most women would vehemently deny this but it is true. Nearly every female vote for a Democrat is done to protect their ability to terminate a pregnancy. They never think of the life they are ending, they only think of the inconvenience to themselves.
BTW, women always could vote, but they had to qualify just like the men did. The sufferage movement was about letting liberal women vote.
