/they might but really the whole allowing women to vote was a huge mistake in this way./
Really? Do tell.
/it caused families to be separated./
Both of my parents vote. And they're still married to each other. You fail.
/if a man was going to vote he voted for his whole family not just himself/
Oh, just like how slaveowners "voted" for their slaves, due to the Three-Fifths Compromise, right? Man, it must have been such a bummer when slavery was ended and those uppity negroes actually got the right to vote. That must have torn up families, too.
/so he consulted his family about who to vote for/
Yeah, right. His wife would have been lucky if he'd even breathed a word to her about politics in general. "Oh, don't worry, dear, we're just discussing the future of the state. Don't worry, just go back to what you were doing in the kitchen and let the men talk this out."
/and when women were given the right to vote this stopped./
My parents freely discuss politics with each other. Again, YOU FAIL.
