Why did it take over 200 years for men to allow women to vote?

There are Many Women in Today's world, But NOT so Many LADIES !!! I agree, Women are hurting the progress that has taken SO long to Make !! It's the "babies raising babies" era !! SAD !!!!!!!! People growing up w/ few to No Morals. Back in the day, "A Man's WORD, was Worth Everything!". Today, sadly, it doesn't mean squat !! Morals and values!! we Need to instill that Back into Our Society !!
