TIL that in 1968, Liechtenstein held a referendum on women's suffrage where both men and women were allowed to vote. Despite this, the No-side won with 56.3% of the total and 49.5% of the women vote(en.wikipedia.org)

Women’s suffrage would not be introduced in Liechtenstein until 1984.

In my experience a lot of women (especially in patriarchal societies) support the idea of gender roles. And they are more than willing to apply violence to keep dissenting women (and men) in line.

Being against own interests is an old human quirk.
