This was my favorite song in Mary Poppins when i was little, even if i had no idea what it was about at the time. i just thought it was just super catchy xD
No one seems to see the irony of this song. It's quite blatantly saying that the suffragettes were deluded loons like Mrs. Banks, who neglected their duties to their families in favour of militant campaigning, which was in reality detrimental to the cause of women's suffrage.
Women are human just like men...but men are human just like women. We can't turn the tables just cause we were treated badly. Both genders need to be nice and polite to each others
@lovestogetlow Well, in some countries and in the 19th century even in America, women were inferior ...and I meant that now, women are holding that grudge and saying that men are stupid...I don't know honestly...thats just my opinion
@etbella3 'Men' as a whole? :L I'd stand up for any law that made animal cruelty a capital offence, and while on the subject, any gender equality law. But you're pushing away a boat of supporters when you call all men disgusting cowards, I now feel distanced from you and your cause.
Aaaaaand while I'm here, I'm sure there are women FBI agents and women circus ring masters too..
1 million British men died in WW1 so the idea of Britain still existed, Even more were wounded and damaged for life. None of them could vote and most were forced into Service.
Women handed out White Feathers to shame them into war.
Before women whine about their plight consider that of men as well please.
That's interesting... Im pretty sure men are the ones that created the keyboard you just typed that on, hoover dam, great wall of china, your little cell phone, the computer your talking shit about them on.. need I say more?
@lovestogetlow I wasn't talking shit, I was quoting the song, child. Now please go back to beign a slut because you are slandering the name of women on here. Have you no shame?
That's an interesting point of view. If it weren't for God creating us,,, or for MAN'S seed you wouldn't be here either darling. It takes two. 1=mans seed 2=womans womb 3=baby...
@lovestogetlow Of course. That also takes into hand whether one believes in God. If it weren't for Adam, Eve wouldn't have been. If Eve hadn't been there, the population would cease to exist.
I think that it's unfair for a woman to make it like men are less, but countering that with "Well, men have done this, & this, & this, & you women have done..?" Is an unfair counter attack. & Even when responding to me, you're still giving the impression that women have done less.. what's that about?
@lovestogetlow I would say that women are more spiritually and creatively attuned, while men are more physical-plane. (Such as good with machines, inventions, etc). It doesn't mean that one is better than the other, overall. Just different and perceptive, each in their own way.
@ DoctorWhoMe no and though we adore men indvidually we agree as a group they are rather stupid is so true! Men thought we were too stupid to put an x in a box 4 who we wanted to vote 4 and we aren't, quite a lot of women are actually smarter than men
Oh, I remember watching this when I was little! I always used to say "Mommy, Mrs. Banks is a hippopotocrite." when she went from the woman's rights advocate to the quinticential "good housewife" right after this song. I love the old classic Disney! They need to bring it back!
@cheesecarrots i know i love it too haha glynis johns was amazing in the film like when mr banks sings his song when he first appears and it gets to the end she really does look like she's gonna cry because she loves her children so much and she doesn't want to lose them i love her (: <3 xxxx <3 xxxx
If I may cast a statement which I know will be judged for whatever reason. Whether man or woman, compared to others in the world, we have pretty cushioned lifestyles.
Anyway it would be a bit much to expect her to choose between the w.r. movement and her family. At least they included the subject. I agree with those who say it's sad to think of those women like Emmeline Pankhurst and then see those girls on MTV.

Men are disgusting cowards who have singlehandedly destroyed the planet. The biggest cowards of all, and the stupidest men on the planet, are FBI agents, "good" men who stand by and do NOTHING. When I called the FBI in Washington, Reno and Las Vegas to report the animal cruelty of circuses, they blew me off. The consequences will be severe.
@etbella3 perhaps it was because thats not really what the FBI are for...you may have had better luck contacting an SPCA, animal control, or even the police. Its kinda like calling 911 when its not a life or death situation...except when you do that they can fine you idk if the FBI can do that... I do applaud you for trying to protect the animals though! Sadly not everyone would.
@etbella3 You're probably talking to the wrong people. I completely respect your opinions, as I have the same, but maybe you're talking to the wrong people? Talk to your congressmen & women, and talk to your local political leaders. The FBI solely focuses on humans, and human safety. But try political lawmakers. You never know what you can accomplish (:
I like to think about other things these actresses have done: Specifically, the rather pinched woman in black starred (29 years earlier) in and AS The Bride of Frankenstein, and Glynis Johns (30 years later) was the awful mother in law in The Ref.
This is incredible how I can remember of all these epic scenes of this wonderful movie! But as a child I never had a chance to understand the whole dialogues of it! I need to watch it a 2nd time!
@BrionyMae, what about P!nk, Sonia Sotomayor, Linda Coffee and Sarah Weddington? I think all of these women have taken advantage of the of their forbearer's sacrifice. And let's not forget the everyone's favorite detective, Nancy Drew.
Mind you, my face was like a goldfish when a jolly gentleman who was a friend of theirs came to visit and picked Dee right up off the ground and it made me gasp in fright because I thought he would hurt her injured shoulder but she seemed to love being swung around by that tall cheeky mucker! I guess I must be easily shocked for a teenager.
Still making me think of my friend Dee again, whom I also commented about on Step In Time, if one of her daughters dressed inappropriately (she does too sometimes because she’s modern-ish but I mean if they were VERY improper) or when I swore once or twice and took a running jump onto the counter landing on both knees pretending to be a cat out of boredom.
Haha who screamed when Mrs Banks flashed her knickers? Sounds like the sort of thing Ellen would do but it didn't look like it from her mouth movements. Maybe it was Katie Nanna because of her high and mighty airs.
How have girls honoured the courage of the women who faught for rights and the vote? Now they dance around men in the underwear on MTV. Makes me feel sick.
@BrionyMae I agree that so many girls now have lost the true meaning of what it means to be a woman and how to gain the respect of men. So many now just want to have boob jobs and tease men and that is not what being a woman is all about.
I think it's a little more complicated than that. Not all women were sufragettes, some women did accept the status quo. Today, not all women dance around in their underwear. I always have to remind myself of the absolutely ridiculous amount of pressure on women to be beautiful, and that to succeed means that you are beautiful. As well, most media outlets are run by men and therefore produce programming for men, which usually involves naked women.
@Dextrophobia I totally agree with you. Men still are intimated by a smart women who is self-sufficient! They like women best when they are men's play things.
@LoreneFaith By all means be critical of patriarchy for making women feel like they have limited choices and their only way to get ahead is by enticing men. I support you. However, I believe that as feminists we must not slander the actual women who do make those choices, even if those choices may seem hard to understand. We should not lose sight of the fact that this is a structural problem. What you and Briony saying sounds a lot like slut shaming to me. Sorry, just my opinion. x
@BrionyMae I agree! Today the people who are mostly against feminism is women. I have a cousin who is smiling while she says that women in Arabia loose their children when they men get tired of them and she says that the POOR men cannot spend enough time with their kids when the parents get a divorce. And she is insulted by the second and says smiling like it;s not a big deal the first. Or that women's genes are not that strongs and half siblings are considered only the ones that share a mother
@BrionyMae The ones that share a father are full blood siblings and other stupid incorrect stuff. And we can live the way we do because some women fought for our basic rights. And these women are forgotten today by most. But all this hate for feminism is (to my opinion) a hate towards women and a political move to make sure women will always depend on men. And not depend as they depend on us for reproduction or for balance.... Despite all their hard work, this world is unfair to women. By not
I've never heard that about half-siblings. I have a sister who shares the same father, and she's always been called my half-sibling. Same goes for my brother and sister who share the same mother with me.
But I totally agree with you on everything else. I never studied the suffragettes in school, and I took AP US History. Come to think of it, there isn't much of anything in history classes about women's history, which makes people assume we don't have any. There is such a negative stereotype with being a feminist. I tell people I am, and I get nasty looks and comments because most assume I hate all men. I don't; I think women are people too and are capable of much more than
men give them credit for. Women should be paid the same for the same amount of work, and be treated with respect. Their lives should not be boiled down to "wife/mother". Just because I don't have male genatalia does not make me less qualified in some careers and more qualified in others. -.-
Women do make as much and in many cases young single women make more than young men. Our society, if anything, has just become less friendly to women (being women! Not pretending to be a man!) and children. I don't think you give enough credit to mothers and wives. It is a very important role and one that deserves more respect than anything you could do working. Can women work and be good at it? Sure and of course. But people are only given one mama. Workers are a dime a dozen.
But is if fair to ask women to be one or the other? Women are damned if they do and damned if they don't. Working mothers are looked down upon for not spending enough time with their kids and are paid far less than their single counterparts, who in turn are paid less than men (75 cents for every dollar, on average). Stay at home moms are criticized for buying into a stereotype. What then, is our solution? And why do men not have the same dilema, if sexism is gone?
In many cases young women make MORE than young men. At one time (only few are the exception now), women made less than men. I never criticize stay at home moms, I'm only envious. Maybe society needs to stop placing such ridiculous demands on women like going to work and being a good mother and being a good wife. What matters more? Money or your family? I'm sorry women were given the amazing biology to carry and support life, but does it make that much sense to fight natural biology?
Don't get me wrong, I like the option of working. But nowadays, it's become a requirement for both parents to work and I just think it's stupid. I am a 24 year-old female and long for a husband and children but I'm stuck trying to go through school and get a job because society has now demanded that's what I do to maintain any sort of quality of life, and I know it certainly does not bring me immense joy in anyway. Damned both ways but who is really to blame there?
Young men today are dealing with sexism. Just today my brother relayed a story from work about his female co-workers going on and on about attractive men but as soon as my brother and his male co-worker smiled at each other when a very beautiful woman was a customer they got yelled at for, I guess, appreciating a woman's beauty. Colleges are mostly female dominated now and men are constantly bombarded with negative images of men in the media. Sexism is alive and well, for both sexes
You don't work as hard.. You're psycho 1/3 of the month (pms, period...and after) you're lazier, you eat on the job, you talk more and work less, you make more mistakes.. hmmm.. 75 cents on the dollar seems more than fair.
@BrionyMae giving young girls the proper education to understand wjhat means to be a woman and how to be confident in herself. Ok I shut up now... for those who will have the patience to read this whole thing
I do agree, although this is not the best movie to show the fight for women's rights "Oh, Mr. Banks is home, take these away, you know how he hates the cause." that's how far her fighting went....
@BrionyMae Women have rights because men gave allow them to. Men gave rights to women (the vote, specifically) because the pool of male voters was saturated and they believed giving women the vote would yield favorable results for their party. Unfortunately, deciding actions in these cases are rarely made on the intention of good will.
@BrionyMae i know like i agree but the fact is that they have the freedom to dance around in their underwear like if u know wat i mean? but yeah i c ur poin and i agree
@BrionyMae I vote because it gives me a voice and simply because of all the woman who fought so valiantly to give me, their descendant the privilage and right to vote! Since I turned 18, I have yet to miss an election or vote, and every single time, I say thank you for the horrors some of those women faced. In fact, I did sing this on my way to my first election! :)
@CynthiaSoto08 it's not true. militant suffragettes of 1910s burned and bombed houses, churches, schools, assaulted persons they don't like, tried to destroy classical works of art (google "Rokeby Venus"), and so on. basically they were terrorists.
@CynthiaSoto08 mmm you are stretching some facts here...and swallowing the 1910 London Times establishment journalism style. Yes there might have been some of what you wrote, but the majority were good people.
@CynthiaSoto08 I don't think so.... nannies were very popular back then. I don't think it's very fair the way you think it's portrayed. I think she loved Jane and Michael dearly, and I don't think she neglected them. Everyone used nannies. She was probably a very busy woman.
I love this scene, it's gorgeous. But somehow I doubt that an upright, forthright Edwardian Englishman like Mr Banks would tolerate his wife's feminist ways xD
@ScarletHarlotry Actually, I think he would have been quite supportive of them. Not all men agreed with treating women as second class citizens even in "the age of men" as Mr. Banks called it.
@LoreneFaith I don't think Mr Banks supported the suffragettes. Mrs Banks did say only shortly after this clip ended (about the sashes), "Ellen, put these things away, you know how the cause infuriates Mr Banks." It was unclear whether he even knew about his wife slipping out to campaign while he worked, and if he did find out once he probably tried to stop her doing it again.
I love this song! when Was a kid I had no Idea what the hell this song was about but I watch the movie now with my younger cousins and I salute Mrs. Banks sheis my favorite charecter!!
"though we adore me individually. We agree that as a group ther're rather... Stupid." my favroite line!!!
@sublimeade while some of us may not be stronger physically we are stronger mentally. Also most of us own and know how to use guns as well as spell and use proper grammer you sexist moronic pig!!
Growing up, I never understood what she was singing about as well, it's so odd! It's kind of embarrassing to say I never knew, but hey I was a kid! -- Haven't seen this since I was a kid as well.
@leedonaldt I agree that the women's rights movement is to be applauded but I hope you realize that Mrs. Banks' character was a spoof. She hid the cause from her husband and lived as a subservient house wife. Also her "devotion" to the cause made her oblivious to the happenings in her own house. Save your salutes for someone a little less fictional.
@LoreneFaith History is always more complex and nuanced than the way it is packaged for public consumption. Framing suffrage in Britain as a gender or as a class issue both have some validity, but ultimately I think it is more about a country trying re-adjust itself to be in line with the principles of Liberal Democracy that it was supposedly based on. It took them 100yrs without a revolution which is remarkable.
This is a great song and Mary Poppins is one of my favorite movies of all time.
@Mastershayster You are mostly correct. In principle it was in place very early, (1714). But in practice it took a long time to fully implement. Possibly because of the lack of a revolution and the deeply entrenched class system.
@Pdbddhk Agreed. They don't get nearly the adoration that they deserve. So many are ignorant of how hard they fought. It always pains me to see all the women today who seem to be undoing what women's rights advocates fought for. Many young women don't bother to vote or educate themselves and furthermore they dress and act like objects for men. Women fought so hard for equality...sorry for the rant.
@zoen23 Perhaps there should be a Rememberance Day for the Suffragettes. And then there's our under-valued, hard-done-by role models of today: the Beckhams, Cheryl Cole, Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Jade Goody. QUITE a contrast in their worth.
I actually sang this song one time in my theater class. I nearly cracked up doing it, i copied her voice and everything. By the way did you know the maid played Auntie Shrew in Secret of Nimh?
@LoreneFaith Secret of Nimh isn't disney, it was made by MGM after Don Bluth left the studio. When you think about it it's kind of obvious, I mean after all you don't see disney making a film like that.
I've been registered to vote for the first time (although I may have been registered too late). I didn't think I'd have enough knowledge about politics to vote, but people tell me I know more than I think. Besides, I wouldn't want to let the suffragettes down. I've made a decision now!
My favorite character! I have yet to convince my older sister & her husband to dress up as Mary & Bert for Halloween one year, and I could complete the set by dressing up as Mrs. Banks.
Aw, I LOVE Glynis Johns. (: I grew up watching this movie, and this was always my favorite song from the entire movie. Love this!

@etbella3 You're probably talking to the wrong people. I completely respect your opinions, as I have the same, but maybe you're talking to the wrong people? Talk to your congressmen & women, and talk to your local political leaders. The FBI solely focuses on humans, and human safety. But try political lawmakers. You never know what you can accomplish (:

Mind you, my face was like a goldfish when a jolly gentleman who was a friend of theirs came to visit and picked Dee right up off the ground and it made me gasp in fright because I thought he would hurt her injured shoulder but she seemed to love being swung around by that tall cheeky mucker! I guess I must be easily shocked for a teenager.
Ilovecats112233 1 year ago
Still making me think of my friend Dee again, whom I also commented about on Step In Time, if one of her daughters dressed inappropriately (she does too sometimes because she’s modern-ish but I mean if they were VERY improper) or when I swore once or twice and took a running jump onto the counter landing on both knees pretending to be a cat out of boredom.

Haha who screamed when Mrs Banks flashed her knickers? Sounds like the sort of thing Ellen would do but it didn't look like it from her mouth movements. Maybe it was Katie Nanna because of her high and mighty airs.

BrionyMae 1 year ago 82
@BrionyMae I agree that so many girls now have lost the true meaning of what it means to be a woman and how to gain the respect of men. So many now just want to have boob jobs and tease men and that is not what being a woman is all about.
LoreneFaith 1 year ago 28
@LoreneFaith
I think it's a little more complicated than that. Not all women were sufragettes, some women did accept the status quo. Today, not all women dance around in their underwear. I always have to remind myself of the absolutely ridiculous amount of pressure on women to be beautiful, and that to succeed means that you are beautiful. As well, most media outlets are run by men and therefore produce programming for men, which usually involves naked women.

@LoreneFaith By all means be critical of patriarchy for making women feel like they have limited choices and their only way to get ahead is by enticing men. I support you. However, I believe that as feminists we must not slander the actual women who do make those choices, even if those choices may seem hard to understand. We should not lose sight of the fact that this is a structural problem. What you and Briony saying sounds a lot like slut shaming to me. Sorry, just my opinion. x

@BrionyMae I agree! Today the people who are mostly against feminism is women. I have a cousin who is smiling while she says that women in Arabia loose their children when they men get tired of them and she says that the POOR men cannot spend enough time with their kids when the parents get a divorce. And she is insulted by the second and says smiling like it;s not a big deal the first. Or that women's genes are not that strongs and half siblings are considered only the ones that share a mother

@BrionyMae The ones that share a father are full blood siblings and other stupid incorrect stuff. And we can live the way we do because some women fought for our basic rights. And these women are forgotten today by most. But all this hate for feminism is (to my opinion) a hate towards women and a political move to make sure women will always depend on men. And not depend as they depend on us for reproduction or for balance.... Despite all their hard work, this world is unfair to women. By not

But I totally agree with you on everything else. I never studied the suffragettes in school, and I took AP US History.

I tell people I am, and I get nasty looks and comments because most assume I hate all men. I don't; I think women are people too and are capable of much more than

men give them credit for. Women should be paid the same for the same amount of work, and be treated with respect. Their lives should not be boiled down to "wife/mother". Just because I don't have male genatalia does not make me less qualified in some careers and more qualified in others. -.-

@monny287
Women do make as much and in many cases young single women make more than young men. Our society, if anything, has just become less friendly to women (being women! Not pretending to be a man!) and children. I don't think you give enough credit to mothers and wives. It is a very important role and one that deserves more respect than anything you could do working. Can women work and be good at it? Sure and of course. But people are only given one mama. Workers are a dime a dozen.

@BaconPeach
But is if fair to ask women to be one or the other? Women are damned if they do and damned if they don't. Working mothers are looked down upon for not spending enough time with their kids and are paid far less than their single counterparts, who in turn are paid less than men (75 cents for every dollar, on average). Stay at home moms are criticized for buying into a stereotype. What then, is our solution? And why do men not have the same dilema, if sexism is gone?
monny287 7 months ago
@monny287
In many cases young women make MORE than young men. At one time (only few are the exception now), women made less than men. I never criticize stay at home moms, I'm only envious. Maybe society needs to stop placing such ridiculous demands on women like going to work and being a good mother and being a good wife. What matters more? Money or your family? I'm sorry women were given the amazing biology to carry and support life, but does it make that much sense to fight natural biology?

Don't get me wrong, I like the option of working. But nowadays, it's become a requirement for both parents to work and I just think it's stupid. I am a 24 year-old female and long for a husband and children but I'm stuck trying to go through school and get a job because society has now demanded that's what I do to maintain any sort of quality of life, and I know it certainly does not bring me immense joy in anyway. Damned both ways but who is really to blame there?

@monny287
Young men today are dealing with sexism. Just today my brother relayed a story from work about his female co-workers going on and on about attractive men but as soon as my brother and his male co-worker smiled at each other when a very beautiful woman was a customer they got yelled at for, I guess, appreciating a woman's beauty. Colleges are mostly female dominated now and men are constantly bombarded with negative images of men in the media. Sexism is alive and well, for both sexes

Quima85 11 months ago
@BrionyMae Women have rights because men gave allow them to. Men gave rights to women (the vote, specifically) because the pool of male voters was saturated and they believed giving women the vote would yield favorable results for their party. Unfortunately, deciding actions in these cases are rarely made on the intention of good will.

it's messed up that Disney allowed Mrs. Banks' role as a Suffragist to be used to send anti-suffragist messages:
that Suffragists neglected the children and home (it's why they hired nannys), they hated men (generalization) and were militant or aggressive
in the early 1900s, at least in England, suffragists were called militant when they showed up at the golf courses to protest or did a hunger strike
in this movie Mrs. Banks is too involved in her 'rich white woman' hobby to be a good mom
CynthiaSoto08 1 year ago
@CynthiaSoto08 it's not true. militant suffragettes of 1910s burned and bombed houses, churches, schools, assaulted persons they don't like, tried to destroy classical works of art (google "Rokeby Venus"), and so on. basically they were terrorists.

@CynthiaSoto08 I don't think so.... nannies were very popular back then. I don't think it's very fair the way you think it's portrayed. I think she loved Jane and Michael dearly, and I don't think she neglected them. Everyone used nannies. She was probably a very busy woman.

@LoreneFaith I don't think Mr Banks supported the suffragettes. Mrs Banks did say only shortly after this clip ended (about the sashes), "Ellen, put these things away, you know how the cause infuriates Mr Banks." It was unclear whether he even knew about his wife slipping out to campaign while he worked, and if he did find out once he probably tried to stop her doing it again.

It is forgotten that many men did not have the vote in the UK either. Some facts:-
Reform Act 1832:- Resulted in 15% males having the vote.
Representation of the People Act 1884:- Increased suffrage but still 40% of males were disenfranchised.
Representation of the People Act 1918:- Universal suffrage for males over 21 females over 30.
Representation of the People Act 1928 - Universal suffrage all over 21.
In photos the policemen arresting the suffragettes did not have the vote either.

LoreneFaith 1 year ago
@LoreneFaith History is always more complex and nuanced than the way it is packaged for public consumption. Framing suffrage in Britain as a gender or as a class issue both have some validity, but ultimately I think it is more about a country trying re-adjust itself to be in line with the principles of Liberal Democracy that it was supposedly based on. It took them 100yrs without a revolution which is remarkable.
This is a great song and Mary Poppins is one of my favorite movies of all time.
