Unlike Momo, I am not going to pretend I understand the Swiss attitude, or how "Swiss men" think.

You wouldn’t guess, Jay, but the Swiss can talk and they can be talked to, even the men! I know, because I have tried it. Repeatedly. In a very uncomplicated language at that. I wouldn’t say that “the” Swiss are kind and intelligent people, but many of them are (same percentage as everywhere I should think). And, as a rule, they have better manners than you (but who hasn’t), so I enjoy discussions with them, even if it’s like banging my head against a wall, which inevitably happens on the topic of women’s vote.

You have really little knowledge of this issue, if you think that an issue must be “developed” to deserve a referendum in Switzerland. This was the 7th this year, and they have a few weeks left for a few more if they feel like it. That’s how they run their country and normally I admire this direct democracy very much.
