Why Women Led Anti-Suffrage Campaigns Against Themselves
Just over 100 years ago, a pamphlet railing against the notion of women's suffrage began circulating in Massachusetts. It declared that granting voting rights to women "would be detrimental to the best interests of the State."

Oh, those SJW Suffragettes!!
Interesting... That kind of makes sense. The private home was the "safe space" where women were in charge.
This is actually exactly how my wife feels. She doesn't want to get involved with politics because she's too busy thinking about what to make us for dinner tonight and dealing with our kid's normal daily activities.
But she doesn't believe that this is how it should be for EVERYONE.
I still find it amazing how many people back then thought that so many things were good or bad for EVERYONE. They really had no idea of how diverse the world is.
