“I do not want to see a negro man walk to the polls and vote on who should handle my tax money, while I myself cannot vote at all…When there is not enough religion in the pulpit to organize a crusade against sin; nor justice in the court house to promptly punish crime; nor manhood enough in the nation to put a sheltering arm about innocence and virtue—-if it needs lynching to protect woman’s dearest possession from the ravening human beasts—-then I say lynch, a thousand times a week if necessary.” - Rebecca Ann Latimer Felton, first woman to serve in the senate

Sounds like extreme rhetoric to me but idfk

What if you add the stipulation, "...as God commands."

@Redneo those were the same women that were locking doors and burning buildings with people inside them as well.. the suffragatte terrorists that eventually became modern day feminism

@taekahn Discussing the relevence of screaming it at a crowd, such as the "yell fire in a crowded theater" comparison.
If you're saying it to a friend... well, that's... urgh, a whole different can of worms and not going to get into that right now.

@Misomania yeah

Actually joking about things in private is different

I was off smashing some squids

and boy are my wrists tired

joking means something different entirely too

Yeah but hey

planned parenthoods beginnings are even worse

When I was heavily involved in conspiracy speculation on Google+, I just prefaced saying it was parody

Thus my hands are clean

Still debated and shared info and ideas

what is funny is that women didn't want the right to vote, because it entailed the responsibility to serve in the military at the time in the draft.... but women never did have to serve while men STILL do

Just say it was a joke. But I never incited violence

Reasonable people would assume that the act of yelling "FIRE" in a crowded place would cause some degree of panic and mass movement of people, which is highly likely to cause some kind of injury and, specifically in the theater case, also cause secondary damage to the business you are yelling it at.

This means, at very least, any injuries from the people in a panic, and all lost revenue of the theater, is 100% your fault.

that needs to be reversed

smash the state!

women have the right to vote, men bet their lives to buy it

Bet their lives?

I'm not following

the draft, you sign an agreement at 18 as a male in the USA

Oh

"agreement"

Right

haha, yes

@Misomania women COULD vote long before 1920, it just wasnt federally guranteed.

if there is a war you will serve, and maybe die in some godforsaken land or you will lose the right to vote or even drive

I totally "agreed" that I want to go to war in Iraq if they didn't find enough oil, under the pretense of WMDs.

Often under similar conditions as men with the exception that they couldnt be drafted

women just get that right by virtue of birth

Imagine if women had to sign up for a draft. They'd be even more leftist than before

but muh equal rights!

Women deserve the draft!

What's funny is that women *still* campaigned for equal integration into the armed forces

Although, Trump proved he was less war mongering than the left has been

Prior to [some date] they were limited to non-combative roles

Be back in a few again. :/
