The simple fact is that US law and culture at that time (1790) was racist and misogynist. That you can't just accept that simple, obvious truth shows clearly how you are yourself racist and misogynist.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

Most states didnt allow it, and the state to allow it longest was New Jersey which stopped allowing it in 1807. The next time a territory allowed women to vote was Wyoming in 1869.
So there's really no way to spin society or law as a whole, or even the Constitution, as not misogynist in that timeframe.

Simple fact is that slavery of blacks was allowed, and that voting rights were based on race and gender. That is by definition racism and sexism.

Originally posted by AesonI didn't specify a timeframe. There are many instances of royal incestuous relationships throughout history.Originally posted by Ben Kenobi View PostNot in Europe. You are aware that for most of medieval Europe that the Pope forbade anything more than 4th order consanguinity?
I'd list more of these these uncle/neice & nephew/aunt marraiges but they happened so often it would quickly get boring.
The popes of the time rarely had any problems with issuing papal dispensations for such things.

For the same reason you dont say you're racist and misogynist, even though you are.
