What they said: “it was logical to only give the franchise to men, as they are the ones who 'would be called to give their lives up for their country' and 'had a high personal stake in what the country did regarding various policies, including going to war.' "

What they are really saying: "We don’t treat women equally and that justifies us not treating them equally. We don’t let them be called to give their lives, or have a personal stake. We block them from doing those, so we can use the fact they don't do those as our reason for not treating them equally.”

The idea is to keep people ill-informed and selectively informed, because apparently, that's how you win elections in today's (dis)United States.
