Back when men were only allowed to vote, it was common belief (at the time) that women could not and are not as smart as a man was. So, if a woman was allowed to vote, it was thought that she wasn't smart enough to make an educated decision, and is overall too 'stupid' to vote. This is clearly proven wrong today, but it was a common belief that women weren't smart.
