but i definitely dont think opposing women's suffrage should be part of the MRM

2018-12-16 19:08:14 UTC  

Oh no, it isn't

2018-12-16 19:08:20 UTC  

I don't think anyone is saying it is

2018-12-16 19:09:01 UTC  

I object to the name women's suffrage. The women who campaigned to get the vote were terrorists

2018-12-16 19:09:25 UTC  

And they never should have been given it for free, whereas men had to agree to fight and die for it

2018-12-16 19:09:41 UTC  

they didnt just shame men into the draft, they lobbied for war

2018-12-16 19:20:23 UTC  

@InsaneCaterpilla I think you're mixing up suffrages and suffragettes

2018-12-16 19:20:41 UTC  

Orly?

2018-12-16 19:21:42 UTC  

Suffragettes were the pipe bombers though

2018-12-16 19:46:23 UTC  

Tbf, there was heavy opposition to the rights of women from the upper classes, I can sort of sympathise with these clearly very brave women who where living in the most powerful country in the planet yet couldn’t even decide who they wanted to govern their country, with no option left they had to turn to terrorism. Although I believe violnece isn’t the answer to all problems but in this case it was the only to get their voices heard

2018-12-16 19:46:32 UTC  

Violence*

2018-12-16 19:47:29 UTC  

The men only just got the vote by fighting and dying. No sympathy.

2018-12-16 19:47:50 UTC  

Something we are still expected to do today

2018-12-16 19:47:56 UTC  

Yes, but the men who fought and died where from the lower classes

2018-12-16 19:48:02 UTC  

It’s the upper classes

2018-12-16 19:48:10 UTC  

That was the issue

2018-12-16 19:48:49 UTC  

But women had no mediam in which to fight for there rights apart from out right sympathy

2018-12-16 19:48:55 UTC  

Not sympathy

2018-12-16 19:49:00 UTC  

I mean terrorism

2018-12-16 19:50:32 UTC  

Is it fair that only the people who owned land and such could vote? No. Is it fair women got the vote for some campaigning, and men are obligated to be drafted in wartime even today to earn that right? No, there's not an official law of it in the UK, but you know it would soon be the case in the event of a serious threat to the country, and in other countries its simply stated.

2018-12-16 19:50:49 UTC  

That's still not fair either

2018-12-16 19:51:27 UTC  

I get what your saying

2018-12-16 19:52:04 UTC  

But the attitude of the time was that women should not fight and die in the trenches

2018-12-16 19:52:10 UTC  

Getting mow down in their millions

2018-12-16 19:52:23 UTC  

But, they had to prove their worth

2018-12-16 19:52:46 UTC  

And while I realise that what these women did was terrible but they felt they had no where else to turn

2018-12-16 19:52:51 UTC  

'The attitude of the time' doesn't provide an excuse. Such a reason can be used to say slavery was fine and dandy back in the day

2018-12-16 19:53:06 UTC  

Which was why it was difficult to challenge

2018-12-16 19:53:18 UTC  

Which makes their situation even more dire

2018-12-16 19:53:53 UTC  

So making their options less viable

2018-12-16 19:54:03 UTC  

Same with suffrage

2018-12-16 19:54:10 UTC  

But that just my opinion

2018-12-16 19:55:17 UTC  

This persists even today and you go on about how it used to be fine, why are you making excuses for something you know is unfair? Simply make it fair today. I don't care what the reasons were, it wasn't fair then and it isn't fair now, and I'm not going to pretend that it makes what happened back then more ok that they had excuses for doing certain things

2018-12-16 19:57:54 UTC  

I'm tired anyway.. probably not bringing my point across as eloquently as I could

2018-12-16 19:58:16 UTC  

If ya wanna reply I'll have a see tomorrow mate, Nn all

2018-12-16 20:05:22 UTC  

Nm dude

2018-12-16 20:05:44 UTC  

I’m not saying what they did was justified

2018-12-16 20:05:58 UTC  

I’m just saying they felt they had no other option

2018-12-16 20:06:15 UTC  

And yes it persists today

2018-12-16 20:06:19 UTC  

But
