    19th Amendment:

    The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.

    Only about a century old. Let’s go for another 100.

        a wife could be a virgin, maybe not according to the GOP but there’s no reason the wife needs to have sex with the husband
