Was that not just to take advantage of the fact that "suffrage" sounds like a bad thing (like "suffering")?
Exactly, playing on people's ignorance like current talk show on-the-street segments do. The joke was not that they thought women shouldn't be able to vote... It is just humorous to hear people say they are anti-sufferage not understanding what theyre saying.
It's like asking people if they are afraid of dihydrogen monoxide in their water...
