What were some of the justifications for denying women the right to vote? Among some of the ridiculous reasons why women weren't allowed to vote was the belief that women just weren’t smart enough to understand politics – a falsehood that sadly, though not surprisingly, still exists in modern society. Some of the historical justifications for not letting women vote stemmed from a fear of different feminism movements and the growing demand for equal rights. What might surprise you is that some of the arguments against women's suffrage came from females themselves. Large groups of women organized and protested against the suffrage movement, believing that if women became involved in politics, they would ignore their domestic duties.
