Now that I have your attention, I’m wondering about this, from the text of the proclamation announcing the 19th Amendment, which gave woment the right to vote:

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.

I can’t help wondering if Secretary of State Bainbridge Colby, whose proclamation it was, didn’t intend to say gender instead. I mean, if you’re having sex in the room while I’m trying to vote, I’m going to abridge your rights, with a folding chair upside your head.

I’m just sayin …
