These are mostly awesome, but the "Unfit for service" one is a reminder about discrimination against the disabled, too (not that they couldn't vote, but that they're categorized amongst convicts, lunatics, etc.).

I think this is a reference to the fact that one of the main arguments made against women having the right to vote is that they don't serve in the military therefore don't deserve the right.

Well, that is a more positive angle. 

I already admitted I'm very negative today!
