Nope. The war didn't lead to some mass culling in the US. Something like .2% of the US male population died in the war.
Fair point.
That said, if we look outside the US... the first wave of women's suffrage in the UK was passed in 1918 while WWI was ongoing. What's funny is they almost knew better and they still did it:
WWI happening in the first place was a sign things were already going off the rails. Your harmitolgy also has to reconcile that.
Women had to be over 30 and own property. Not exactly easy back then, even during the war.
Are you familiar with the Dadaist movement? Because you're failing to understand that there are a LOT of people who think that if reason is what leads us to these massive wars, then human's ability to reason is seriously called into question. The fact it happens at all proves that we absolutely did not know better.
