It's funny, because what women did in the 1910s to win the vote would almost certainly be described as "terrorism" in the modern moment

    For real. Magas transported back to 1910's would be like

    Your are against male privilege, you are trying to get new "rights", and you want to change our God given right to treat women how they deserve to be?

    Sounds like woke Antifa terrorism to me.

    Even funnier, this is the exact thing they would say about ratifying the Equal Rights Amendment today.

    No no. You don't understand.

    Sufferegates were doing bombings and arsons.

    The campaign, led by key WSPU figures such as Emmeline Pankhurst, targeted infrastructure, government, churches and the general public, and saw the use of improvised explosive devices, arson, letter bombs, assassination attempts and other forms of direct action and violence.

    This is hyperbole

    Sounds like woke Antifa terrorism to me.

    If modern leftists had an ounce of the enthusiasm of First Wave Feminists, we'd unironically be talking about them like we talk about Timothy McVeigh or Ted Kaczynski

    So some extremists killed some people who were denounced by suffragettes as terrorists.

    These extremists didn't get the right to vote and instead gave up their struggle for the war.

    Is someone wearing rose colored glasses comparing suffragettes to murderers thus conflating an effective peaceful movement with an ineffective violent one?

    No id be saying "all my comrades are way cooler than me. I need to get my shit together; there's a real chance we could win a future where theres still habitable earth."

    Instead of "you're all dipshit reactionaries cosplaying 1950s civil rights movements and not trying to actually change anything. Love the vibes though. Wanna get high?"
