“The rationale for not including women was the widespread belief that women were incapable of the kind of rational thinking necessary to understand politics and government. (In other words, these rich guys thought that women and poor people were too easily manipulated by men like them, so poor people and women should not be allowed to vote.)”
I don't monetize so I resent it when people demand that I do extra work.
Is there some what that you can mute or block my account so that my choices don't annoy you? I don't know substack well, so I'm not sure I if can block you. I'll check when I get to my computer.
HI, Linda, I do not monetize, so I dislike people giving me orders that require me to do more work. Is there some way you can block my account so I stop annoying you? I don't know substack well, and I don't see a way to block you. Thanks.

Yep, that’s it right there. Good piece, Teri.
Wasn’t there a SCOTUS case in late 19th/early 20th century that decided “citizenship” does NOT = voting?
