question 14 of 20
why were some women against voting rights for women?

a. they were afraid to vote.

b. they were afraid of what men would do to them.

c. they believed it went against the natural order of things.

d. they were too busy with household work to vote.

Explanation:

During the women's suffrage movement, some women held traditional views about gender roles. Option C states they believed women's voting rights went against the "natural order of things," which aligns with the idea that they adhered to traditional gender hierarchies and societal norms that assigned women to domestic spheres and men to political ones. Option A is incorrect as fear of voting itself is not a primary reason. Option B's fear of men's actions is not a main historical reason for opposing suffrage. Option D's claim about being too busy with household work is not a core reason for opposing the right to vote (as the right to vote is distinct from actually voting, and opposition was about the concept of women voting, not time constraints for voting).

Answer:

C. They believed it went against the natural order of things.
