I don't think women were under any similar state/local restrictions once they got the vote (though it would be interesting to see if that's true). I guess my comment was a little mushy and unclear. thanks for the help! flowers – you’re one-up on me, I couldn’t remember the number of the amendment and didn’t even look it up. shame on me.

what i care about is that this person has spouted things that are demonstrably:
1. racist
2. homophobic
3. misogynistic
4. fascistic
5. promoting violence

On the flip side, a person who is feminist, anti-racist, progressive, LGBT-friendly, peaceful, etc. is okay in my book.

Black men got the vote with the 14th A, and women of all races with the 19th. White women did not get the vote as "white women," though some people advocated for that.
