Universal suffrage [i.e., votes for all adult men and women] is the government of a house by its nursery.
Otto von Bismarck (1815–1898), German statesman, The Cynic’s Lexicon, Jonathon Green, ed. (London: 1986), p.28
How many people, still, deep down, believe this to be true? How many women?
That’s Otto, speaking like the dead white male aristocrat he is.
