Explanation:

Women suffrage was not granted in the constitution because of some common and wrong beliefs that she was considered to be physically weak and fragile that she could not bear the brunt of politics. It is also believed that she is so occupied in domestic chores that she is incapable of holding high offices in the sphere of politics.

Women in those days were confined to only taking care of children and family members and they were noted to be too soft, gullible and lacked force in order to compete with men in the field of Politics.

Men got apprehended when women arose to claim equal rights. This made men think that they cannot show male chauvinism against women and dominate them.
