Black men could vote before women. In theory. What was the Civil Rights Movement about again?

Does male privilege trump racism? I don't know. From my readings, I doubt it. Female slaves, after all, were doubly oppressed. Maybe some of Hillary supporters believe that she needs to combat Obama's male privilege. Is that why a union leader praised her for having "testicular fortitude?" I knew the phrase "intestinal fortitude" which can apply to both men and women alike, since, I believe, the digestive system is gender neutral. But "testicular fortitude" is a new one for me. Does Hillary's universal health plan cover check-ups for women worried if they have it or not?
