Fact , the group yph aresayi g didnt, often daid thsoe who were co sidered radical were simply fighting for tje wrong rights of the time. Laws were still demanding women legally curtail to their husbands, and wanted this abolished before fifgting for working rights. Before the suffrage movement in Maerica, women were beaten i tje streets for holding speeches of change. A woman was beatento near death by her husband, and when she left him in tje middle of tje night with her children, she was thrown in prison for abandoning her family. She was raped and killed by a gaurd.
      But you know what was more important at the time in the men's government? The formation of the National Gaurd and how to limit gun powers to citizens. So, at least when women want an amendment done it doesn't take more than 110 years.

      @@DepressinglyOptimistic "Opposing votes for women may seem surprising today, but anti-suffrage views dominated among men and women through the early twentieth century. Suffragists had national organizations since 1869, but anti-suffragists did not found their own group until 1911.
      Before organizing, suffrage opponents bonded without an official institution. Artists created political cartoons that mocked suffragists. Religious leaders spoke out against women’s political activism from the pulpit. Articles attacked women who took part in public life. Even without a coordinating institution, opposition to suffrage remained popular."

      @@xilrondo2907 research a tad? I have a minor in history and women's studies. Every political movement has opposition, so you trying to use that as an arguemnt that women were against suffrage and feminism is moot. Even Phyllis Schlafly was on the fence about feminism, until she was convinced by conservatives that it would take away her priviligaed life as a housewife. She wasn't agaisnt women's rights in the work place, she was brainwashed into thinking she was being forced to work. Yet, while she was fighting women's rights and the ERA (thinking this would disintergrate gender roles which was happening either way), she also ended up fighting for disenfranchised and abused wives, which ran right along the wave of feminism.
      Anyone can look up suffrage opposition and get the information you just spouted off, from the first google page.
      The main arguemnt of anti-suffragism was that women wanted full freedom within their home, not an actual vote, and were simply making a piunt to men. So you repeatedly trying to back your sexist arguemnt that women were largely anti-feminist is based of a complete lie. Either wau women wanted more control in their lives, they were just fighting for it from 2 different battles. States were passing laws allowing women to vote long before the federal government ever did, and women were turning up to the voting booths in droves.
      In fact, in New Jersey, before a ratifixation of the state amendment in 1807, women had the vote in state and local matters. It wasnt a new issue out of nowhere that radicalists wanted to jsut cause a hooplah over.
      And, political cartoons...Really? Everything being fought by any federal power has political cartoons. Especially skmethignthat goes against the norms of those innpower at the time.

      saying "most women supported it" is a straight up lie, funny how you say anyone can simply google it, then call it bullshit
      fine though, give me a source that most women supported the right to vote.
      since apparently history is wrong and you're right, prove it.
      CRF is wrong, womenshistory is wrong, crusade for the vote is wrong, news articles are wrong, survey's dating fromt he time are wrong

      @@DepressinglyOptimistic while not relevent towards the U.S here's a fun one
      During the early 20th century there was widespread public support for anti-suffragism, yet modern histories have generally focused upon the triumphant suffragists and suffragettes rather than upon their defeated opponents. Initially the opponents of women’s suffrage were ridiculed by suffragist opponents and their reputation has been further diminished by historical neglect. Millicent Fawcett wrote in 1912 of the ‘inherent absurdity of the whole position of anti-suffrage women’, while Ray Strachey, one of the first historians of suffragism, claimed that the organised anti-suffrage leagues ‘soon began to afford great delight and comfort to their opponents by the ineptitude and futility of their ways’. It suited the suffragists to portray a laughably ineffective opposition dominated by misogynistic men, rather than acknowledge the predominance of fellow women within a large and well-organised anti-suffrage movement" - BL
      granted this was from the U.K, but the same shit played out across the board, fuck it's still playing out in some countries (such as SA), and to a lesser degree many asian countries who view traditional roles as important
      whether you like it or not, feminists were never supported, they had "victories" but those victories weren't really theirs, they were motivated by other factors, such as political power for a specific party
      and you don't get to rewrite history to suit your desires.

Also, Kodi please cite your sources, and "powerful as hell" is not helping anyone determine anything, but your personal opinion about the quote.

This lack or sources completely strips away the humanity and the background of this quote for all we know this quote could have been written by Stalin, Hitler, or it may be even wasn't made by a person it could have been put randomly together using an algorithm.

      Let me troll you: If we cannot discirminate by sex than both parents must have equal right to abortion. Currently ony one sex has exclusive rights to decide what happens. If we assume fathers want abortion in same number of cases as mothers, ERA would double abortions.

      We have some of the best beaches in the world, THE best fishing, amazing Universities, the most visited and popular theme parks in the world and weather thats 1000 times better than the shit show the rest of the USA experiences.

      The thing about Texas is people think they are part of the South but every so often they surprise us all by doing the exact opposite of what everyone expects. Texas is less South and more part of the West. People think they are the same but they are not. While they do agree on some things, there are ways in which the ethics/beliefs of Southerners and Western "Cowboys" do diverge. The Southern beliefs are based upon hierarchy, doing what you're told and fear-based respect. The Western beliefs are based upon mutual respect of equals, hard work and independence. Texas is really its own unique country in a lot of ways because of its history.

It's like, "Why are you supporting Trump, he's a monster according to our religion's values. He uses hate speech and playing on America's ego and selfishness to achieve his goals."
      It was so nice finding out that we advocated rights for homosexual partnership, even if we take/took issue with gay marriage. That's the sort of Mormon legislature I have complicated but general approval for.
      Maybe it could happen if people got their heads out of their butts about this and ignored their *cultural* "Mormonism" and viewed it through the lens of the values of our doctrine. Hope springs eternal and all that...

      Well buckle up because Mississippi is worse than that, the last attempted LEGAL sale of a human occurred in 2005. A crackhead was trying to sell her daughter to a cop and they found out that a) Mississippi never ratified the 13 or 14 amendments and b) only outlawed the sale of adults specifically. So the mother walked free, but the sale of children was corrected a few weeks later and the 13 amendment ratified shortly after... and then the AG of the state (a diehard republican) hid the documents in his desk and never filed them with the US government (as is his job) during the entire time he was in office... literally it took a school child in 2015 to inform the AG at the time that "no, it wasn't ratified", to which he disagreed only to find out the kid was right. He then searched the old desk and found the paperwork and submitted it immediately. Mississippi at it's finest.

Discriminatie wegens godsdienst, levensovertuiging, politieke gezindheid, ras, geslacht of op welke grond dan ook, is niet toegestaan." wich roughly translates " everyone in the netherlands shall be equally treated. discrimination due to religion, ideology, political idea's, race, gender or any other means shall not be accepted"

    I wonder if that guy was making a reference to Simone de Beauvoirs "The Second Sex" (an amazing read that I highly recommend). A central theme of the book is that women have historically always been seen as "the other gender" - as a contrast to the standard male. A woman was (is?) always presented as the different one, the abnormality, despite there obviously being no 'standard gender' in nature.
    If this is the case, I salute him. By showing the sentiment to us in a different context than we are used to (as a reference to men, instead of women), it becomes far easier to notice the toxicity of it. I think John Oliver's reaction to men being labeled simply as "that other sex" really illustrates how damaging this attitude is, too, and perhaps it makes it easier for us to understand how this has played a not-insignificant role in keeping women subordinate.
    Or, maybe it was just a coincidence that just so happens to match my analysis really well xD

      9 out of 10 voters in the most liberal part of Mississippi actually voted to retain that state flag design several years ago. It was the widest margin in the entire state, in an overwhelming desire to keep using that flag.
      In short, don't count on Mississippi making this history. The last time Mississippi voters made significant history was when they were the first state in the south to legalise casino operations. Mississippi is legally the only state that has a federally legal marijuana grow operation, so maybe their is still hope for them to set an example for the rest of "the south" and even the rest of the country on that front by legalising some marijuana for all adults 18 and older. California doesn't even go that far.
      I don't know much about Mississippi, but those people have some bizarre political ideals. It seems like I read about some far out law from this state every couple of years. I don't know if the conservatives and liberals compromise to pass anything or what, but there is definitely some bold experimentation worthy of national news periodically coming out of that state government.
