And that proves what exactly! There you go getting all worked up and excited that you found some information that apparently shows that Swiss women didn't get the vote until recently - but even if true - what exactly is your point?

Women in Switzerland today have freedom and equality! They have choices in how they live their lives. That has bugger all to do with whether Switzerland as a whole wants to protect the religious and cultural identity of their own country!

Some people do get so carried away!
