Re: Again And Again, Promoting Not Establishment
These things were NOT written in the Constitution.
Women were not allowed to vote. That is a fact. Slaves were not allowed to vote, and for purposes of the census, they counted as a fraction as a person. This is a fact.

The 14th Amendment was ratified in 1868, but the Wyoming Territory granted women the right to vote in 1869.
Thanks for the information. If I'm ever in Wyoming, I'll buy a hat and take it off.
So far as I know, the first country to give women the right to vote was New Zealand, which I had always considered as the world's first true democracy. But the great state of Wyoming may indeed claim precedence.

Re: Voting Rights
I grew up in Wyoming where the majority of men effectively apprised their women on voting wisdom. However too many of them unwisely ignored the phenomenal fact of the male leadership role throughout human history and in most of the animal kingdom ever since the recording of history.
Since women are more emotional and easily persuaded and manipulated, imo, voting is not included in their role, though their legitimate role in culture is no less important than that of the male.
Why, Dr Adequate, have most door to door sales companies advocated dealing with the woman of the house?
But could you make your point more explicit?
In my post I just expressed enthusiasm for states and nations which permitted women to vote as well as men.
Are you against this? Do you believe that the vote should be restricted to men only?
