The Nineteenth Amendment - Women's Sufferage

The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.
Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
Well, there you have it, now everyone can vote right? Ha, we still have to add in 18, 19, and 20 year old's in to the mix.

Again, I'm a very right wing dude. I see a lot of problems in our society in respect to gender issues and the strength of the family, but really none of these problems conservatives see can possibly stem from giving women the right to vote.

Even if you do make the case that the man's vote was really a vote for the family, you still have to take into account widows and unmarried women, where would there representation come from?
