so you are saying that women are stupid, lesser, and not as able to think as men?

Not at all. Women think differently than men, and have different core needs and values. This difference was never considered while designing our Constitution, and the introduction of this X-factor has led to unintended consequences. Through arguments posted above, I posit that it was at least a key contributing factor to the rise of American Socialism.

Men and women were not [created/evolved] to be equals, but to complement and complete one another. This is not to imply one is the lesser and one is the greater. Women have instincts to nurture, which should not be a chief function of government - but which is what we've come to. The mass of extra-Constitutional social programs, and the corresponding crushing tax burden is a testament to the power of that instinct.

There were bound to be unintended consequences of not just suffrage, but also (and perhaps as damaging) of a popularly elected Senate, and the income tax levy. With the introduction of these three factors, I believe that the rise of Socialism was almost inevitable.

This may be reflexively dismissed by some as kookery, but I feel there is enough empirical evidence to at least present the hypothesis for discussion.
