As I said in another thread, when I encounter an "anti-woke" woman, I like to point out that women getting the right to vote was "woke" as the word is being used today.
Here are some arguments used by opponents of the 19th Amendment. Its quite eye opening the lengths and contortions those in power will go to limit rights of those not in power.
- It means competition of men with women rather than cooperation
- In some states with more women than men voting would place the government under petticoat rule
- With 80% of women eligible votes, it would only double or negate their husbands' votes
- 90% of the women do not want it or do not care because men accurately represented the political will of women
- The benefit is not commensurate with the additional cost
- It's unwise to risk the good we have with the evil that may occur
- Votes of women can accomplish no more than votes of men
- Women's political involvement would keep them from the duties they were particularly adapted
