Answer:

Anti-suffragists argued that most women did not want the vote. Because they took care of the home and children, they said women did not have time to vote or stay updated on politics.

Step-by-step explanation:

Some argued women lacked the expertise or mental capacity to offer a useful opinion about political issues.

Some people opposed women's right to vote because they(men) thought women were inferior to them and they thought women should only be able to do household chores and nothing else. Hope it helps!
