I'd say it's yet another example of Chesterton's fence.
I'm not saying all women are undeserving of suffrage, but it's become apparent that a good many can't be trusted with self-governance and since there's no real way to tell the good from the bad, it's likely our ancestors reasoned that depriving the few, as bad as that was, was far better than what happens when you allow all of them, as we've finally figured out too late.
