Women voting? Your children will die.

Found this when looking up something inspired by the earlier women's suffrage ad.




Switzerland, 1920 - 51 years before women received the vote on a national level, 70 before they received it in the last canton.

I wonder if other countries had the same superstition that many in the US had - that you couldn't have a cat in the house with a baby because the cat would lie down on the baby's face and suffocate it.

But it's not a very efficient way of smothering a baby to knock it out of the crib first. Maybe Swiss cats employed falling injuries for their baby-murderin', while American cats were more likely to go with asphyxiation.
