@simonlepret: Historically, women overwhelmingly did not want the right to vote. The idea that women fought tirelessly for the right to vote is a myth. @simonlepret

😛 :

Why would we let people of the past control the present

Dude :

Fine let’s repeal it. All in favor say aye.

Freakynando :

Well if they don’t want to vote they don’t have to but the one who do can

liv hanna :

yeah, people tend to be indoctrinated with the common views held at the time. some slaves chose to stay slaves. this means nothing.

cedricstudio :

Feminism is everywhere now but historically it is only about ten minutes old.

WBSCEO :

I wonder ((who)) started all those movements

Chump kins :

"people 100 years ago didn't think women should vote therefore they shouldn't vote" wtf is this argument lmfao

Archit :

Let’s repeal the 19th amendment

Sylvi 💜 :

someone hasn't heard of social conditioning..

SoggySandwich :

Wild. Guess that goes to show that positive change often starts with a vocal minority. The American Revolution started similarly. Independence started as a very unpopular idea and slowly grew.

youngvlad24 :

Ever since then the country been going downhill

john2367861 :

It was a structured revolution from the top!

So what’s your point? What are you trying to say?

Discerning Words ✝️ :

Women should still be legally allowed to vote just in case they want to. Nobody is required to vote.

I think women suffrage is a bit odd because the whole point was to vote as a representative of the family and if women voted it would promote being single

jessicahull_ :

There’s a huge difference between “women didn’t vote” and “women didn’t want the right to vote.” Your 1895 Massachusetts example actually undermines your point: only ~4% participated, but ~96% of those who DID vote supported suffrage. And low turnout in 1920 doesn’t prove women opposed suffrage either. it can reflect barriers, unfamiliarity with voting, or lack of political engagement. You’re presenting selective evidence as proof of a conclusion it doesn’t establish.

I feel like your disregarding a ton of nuance here😂 like idk the primary reason was because these women existed within a system of which they were highly dependent on and what they've only ever known to exist? I mean if you look at other examples of initial reactions to big societal changes, they've consistently the same... even today you can barely get a majority to agree on anything😭

Minkan :

How would we even practically return to the old days? I'd gladly give up my vote and my job, but who is going to support like a hundred million women, especially us older ones? 😳

Lady Beheathland :

you're not wrong. ever since I've been researching my family history, I ended up discovering the truth about a lot of historical milestones within the US in particular. to include uncovering truths about the civil war

ho chi Mane :

take us back

MilylchildofGod :

more men wanted women to vote then women want to vote
