    What I am saying is that the meaning of the headline is exactly what he said and meant. He and many other conservatives literally think women shouldn’t vote, because women don’t vote for them.

      Did you even read the quote? He is clearly not saying he would go back to that time because women can’t vote. Here is his stated reason:

      "because in those days we had people who fought for real social change, and they were called Republicans.”

      His actual reason is still dumb. You don’t have to make up a false meaning to his statement to disagree with it. It’s disagreeable all on its own.
