They sought the vote for themselves.  So what?  The point remains that women were considered too mentally delicate to understand politics or have an opinion on the government that ruled them.  So what if she was a spoiled rich girl kicking against her own limitations - she was still putting herself at risk of imprisonment, mental section and the rest of it.  She was still part of the movement that started things which ultimately gave every PERSON a fair shout.
 
I'm a personist.  I like blokes as much as I like women - no axe to grind, no chip on my shoulder.  I am of a generation that only had to outperform blokes on a level playing field to succeed - can't say I ever had to struggle for equality.    ;D
 
Hell, Wytchy, I even like you!  :smitten:

Silly Elitist rich [censored] had no intention of committing suicide 'for the cause'.  She simply f---d up trying to pin the suffracows colours on the kings horse.  All that throwing herself under a horse 'martyr garbage'  is blatant propaganda and yet another lie to add to the pile.

I have to disagree on one point. Anyone that knows about horses knows that trying to pin colors on a running horse is suicide ;)

 No axe to grind? A personist?  Guffaw  ;D  Your Pavlovian postings would indicate otherwise.  ::)
No chip on your shoulder? Your inability to make a posting without including a snide insult  indicates otherwise.
Female Solipsism personified.....off to feministing,com with y'all.   ;D  I'll stick with reality, hard facts and the truth.

There's nothing snide about my insults.  I was quite openly rude to you because you like it.  Your version of reality is obviously based on an awful lot of rejection though.  I shall try to be kinder in future.  ;)

Three quarters of my postings agree with you.  If mine is all femilogical (whatever your other invented words for it were) and yet echoes your point of view on most things,  then in the world of masculine common sense,  wouldn't that make you predominantly the very thing you rant against?
 
Or maybe I'm just having a period.  Us women don't have the brains for thinking at the best of times, but the hormones blow it all out of the water.....

He was working up to it, I'm pretty sure....  No doubt it'll earn me some newly-coined term of misogynistic origin.  He's fun.  ;D

Well lets not push it into trading insults whereby the thread deteriorates into petty squabbling

Yes, unchallenged ranting and complete freedom to invent your own abusive vocabulary......  which begs the question "Why are you posting on here then?" doesn't it?  Could it be that you crave our female attention?   >:D
