at that time in history very few states and countries allowed women to vote. most women didn't hold jobs outside the home, except for the secretaries, shopkeepers, or factory workers. Men back then believed themselves to masters of the universe.
@Yermog Just recognize that you're actually allowed to make the joke. If I said I would sing "A Hymn to Him" to my wife whenever she got uppity, I'd get lynched twice.
@loqutor You are, of course, allowed to make any joke you want (I'm assuming you know "A Hymn to Him" is meant to poke fun at men who don't understand women). If your wife doesn't like it, that's an issue between you and her. If you're afraid others will shut you up, it's probably because you know that women have a long history of being oppressed by males. But go ahead make any joke you want. No one will stop you. If it's in the right spirit, you may even get some laughs.
@Ih8bureaucracy Being oppressed by males? That is so much horseshit. It was a majority of men (and ONLY men) who granted women the right to vote. At the time this movie takes place, only 5% of men were allowed to vote.
The idea that men have been oppressing women is toxic, hateful, rabble-rousing, and completely untrue. I can't tolerate anybody spreading around such vitriol. It's resulted in sexual harassment laws, which have destroyed the lives of countless innocent men.
this part was cut out of the movie when it entered the usa cinema's i saw that somewhere ones in a docu it's just as they say as a group their rather stupid.
To all the people remarking negatively about Mrs. Bank's comment on men being stupid--at that time, when women were not allowed to vote I too would think that men were being rather stupid for not letting women vote. This is a great movie and Mrs. Banks is a fun, and also a realistic blast from the past to all of us who watch it now.
@loqutor I admit that I did not explain myself very well, so I will give you that, however I meant to say more in detail that it is foolish of any person to deny any particular gender the right to vote (or anything else for that mattter). I praised Mrs. Banks for saying what she said because in my mind she was saying it was stupid of men to deny them the right to vote. And frankly, I think she is right. All men are not stupid and I apologize if that is what you thought I was implying. :)
@loqutor If you are talking about how in the beginning only men who owned property could vote, then it can be reasoned that the men who denied those men who did not own property the right to vote extremely foolish in terms of equality. The point I was making was merely it is foolish in generally for anyone to deny anyone the right to vote. Can we stop this and just focus on Mary Poppins being a good movie? :)
"Though we adore men individually, we agree that as a group they're rather stupid." Just goes to show that feminism has preached contempt for men from the get-go.
Mrs. Banks is the quintessential feminist: She only loves her husband insofar as he is useful to her, and she describes herself as oppressed when she has far more privilege than nearly any man in England. She enjoys all the benefits of her husband's wealth without having to do any work, even traditionally "feminine" work.
@loqutor Well she doesn't have the right to vote, work if she wants to, the right to do anything but care for children, she isn't allowed a formal education, she really is submerged into her husband's identity. And feminism and suffrage must be seperated, suffrage is a more militant version fo feminism because they wanted the right to vote and really they had to go to extremes for that, feminism is usually moderate.
@Abridgedfan134 Let's see: she doesn't need to vote since her husband's vote will meet her interests, she doesn't need to work because of her husband's income, and she keeps hiring nannies to care for her children. Yes, I'd say she's extremely privileged.
@loqutor Oh privileged yes, that's why she has the time to go those meetings, lower class women of this time had to work constantly to just keep up and had an even worse situation. And no one votes according to other peoples interests, thats why we need universal right to vote, women too. Women were not represented by the votes of men, that's why they campaigned to have votes. She does something she believes in and I don't think she loves her husband or her children any less for it.
i see that a lot of people here are arguing that women have equal rights with men or not...well to tell you the truth they don't...especially where i live!!and i'm a staunch feminist!people all around me consider women nothing...just think they are born for cooking food,cleaning blah blah...fuck it!!!nearly all of the girls in my class don't even know what feminism is!!!i wanna cry to women WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE!!!its all messed up!btw i always luved this movie n still do n i'm 17.
@TheFireflies1000 Key term there is where you live. Women have more than equal rights in the West. In fact, they have far more rights than men. I'd hardly say women are oppressed when you can get a man fired from his job just for looking at you the wrong way.
Mrs. Banks always made me smile. She's such a fun little bird! She's so excited about womens rights but won't raise a word against her husband. Its interesting (if not a little sad), and besides, this song is just plain fun! :) Love Mary Poppins.
@erindeluca I did, I told you one, the part about I can't get a job on my field because those are given mostly to men? No good enough for you? Also, my case it's hard from unheard of, I have a friend working directly in the job bussiness that tells me that this discrimination it's rampant, bussiness ASK THEM to hire men, not women. And I'm not your school teacher, you have internet so I asume you can google stuff, right? I don't have to tell you anything when you are obviously ignoring my words.
@erindeluca I vote, I have a dregree in mining engineering, but I don't have a job in that field because there are very few positions and men have preference, it's not a secret for anyone. I know my rights, and I fight for those that I still don't have. But you are showing your ignorance all over the place, again, please, go inform yourself about how "equality" really works and why we don't have it.
@erindeluca I don't think equality means what you think it means, it has nothing to do with being "criticized". Please, again, inform yourself or I'll ignore you.
One day when we have a real woman presidential candidate, this needs to be her theme song! It's so empowering! We need more women like these women nowadays. Proud to be women and yet not so proud as to belittle men completely! EQUALITY!
...and so far we were able to semi-defeat racism in the world by having a black president...but still women don't seem to be making any progress to conquer sexism.
Frig Sarah Palin, you're making us look bad (I'm Ontarian btw)omg this actress is so gorgeous!! -3
As a woman i hate to say this... I don't really ever see a woman president (at least not in my time) I feel that society is so used to having a male president and due to how the media portrays 80%-90% of women, we will always be subjected to belittlement and inferiority. Sexism and racism have been around for ages...
@erindeluca read the whitehouse report on the status on women. Women are only making 75% of what men are even though they are more highly educated, that is hardly equity.
@erindeluca If only everyone in the history of the world could have that view. The people in power always want power and they make the rest suffer as long as they can achieve their power. I doubt it will ever be anything different. Women always had to stay at home and bear children while men could go out and work, fight and provide, therefore owning all the rights.,
I adore and love those women for getting us the rights we have now. My knowledge of the suffragettes and women fighting for their rights is quite awful. I am defo going to find out more about these people who fought and campaigned for womes rights (men too especially when it comes to different social classes). We take our rights for granted these days. People suffered and died to give us in the future these rights. We owe them everything. They should never be forgotton.
@erindeluca are you delusional? You think that woking in child care is not labour intensive? How abour nursing? is that a walk in the park? People pay zoo keepers more than they do to look after their children. Women get looked over for jobs because there is a chance that they might decide to give birth and then their employers have to pay mat leave. You can say that women choose to start a family, they don't have to, but if women don't have children who will? Get your head out your ass!
You know, the uffragettes don't get nearly as much credit.
My great-great aunt was arrested for breaking widows in Salisbury in 1911, and she poured ink through pillarboxes. I have to say I am proud to be related to someone who helped make such a difference!
Now that I'm older, I appreciate this movie so much more. I can notice themes like women's suffrage and Mr. Banks struggle with businessman and fatherhood.
"our daughter's daughters will adore us, and they'll sing in grateful chous, well done sister suffragettes!" makes me quite sad. I wish the majority DID appreciate what both men and women did to secure a democratic vote for everyone. Can I genuinely say, well done sister suffragettes and thank you to everyone who has fought and in some cases died to secure democracy and the vote for us all. Great video, and great film :D
Oh come ON you guys, lighten up! Whats not to like about Mary Poppins - best film ever made! And I dont want to hear a word against Dick Van Dykes cockney accent! (shtep in toime!)
Now that we've got the men vs. women argument out of the way, let's discuss how the scene neatly tries to glaze over the class issue of women's suffrage by flattening the differences in these women's social reality :o)
i'm glad we're not treated the EXACT same. they hold the door for me, buy me stuff.. and turn off the lights i leave on. also they give me massages whenever i say :)
I love this song. It bored me as a kid, but now it's my favorite.... after Stay Awake, which became my lullabye to my son. :) Thank you, Sister Suffragettes!!
We got equality? And that would be since? Women still earn less than men! Men are still more "worth" than women....just look at the image traditional "womens professions" have. We're far from being equal!
It made me laugh whoever said 'I like the mother's voice in the French Version, it's deeper than in the English version" - since when has the English been a 'version'? It's the original, baby! :)
I had no idea what this song was about when I was little. But I remember loving the song and watching the part where she lifts her skirt and one of them scream over and over again. I just thought it was so funny XD
@leedonaldt you're an idiot. Not only do you rely on a hackneyed stereotype, but I don't see how having the right to vote is in anyway negated by liking shoes.
@leedonaldt I was too harsh & I apologise for that. But I still dont see why women/girls should forever have to be appreciative for finally being treated as fully human in the eyes of the law.Of course,some women suffered greatly to get us here,but rather than simply being grateful,we should have the right to act like utter fools if we so wish,in the same way a great number of men and boys do,with no one admonishing them for showing insufficient respect to those who gave them the right to vote
@ThePaopuFruitLover actually i thought id do a little research (coz im sad haha) the only ones alive now are julie andrews, dick van dyke, karen dotrice (jane), glynis johns (mother) and mr dawes jr (the actor played older characters)
Can we just enjoy a good ol' musical and say that yeah, the mom is pretty freaking awesome, even if you don't agree with her views? Cause her voice is really nice to listen to, and this song is very catchy.
Whenever I see this part of the movie I immediently think of Superstar with Molly Shannon because the mother played the grandmother in it. She hasnt seemed to age at all! Shes beautiful!
It's just occurred to me that this entire clip brings Kanye West to mind. "I'm real happy for you, and I'mma let you finish, but Women's Suffrage is the greatest probelm of all time!"
@cfadgin Hmm, well men clearly aren't good at spelling. "As a group they're rather stupid". You've surpassed this song, dear cfadgin. You're stupid all by yourself.
@NotQuiteAGeek All women are good for is cooking, cleaning and sex....they should never talkn or have an opinion.....there i that better little gir or will i ram my cock down your throaght so you will get the message quicker?
I love how Mrs Banks flashes her bloomers and they are all so shocked:) Imagine if people from that time were alive today, they'd be shocked at the leg showing
@Sassyscottishlassy heck, forget about today. In just 10 years' time women's hemlines rose to the knee. This movie takes place in 1910 and by 1920 women had discarded the corset, risen their skirts, and bobbed their hair.
rights with children over fathers. I am by no means suggesting there are not areas were women don't suffer discrimation as well but in the context of the United Kingdom, I think it is rediculous for you to pretend that men live in some of paradise and women in some sort of hell. Feminists have demonstrated time and again they are motivated by power and not equality. If you truly cared about equality you would speak up on the occasionally unfair treatment of men, instead you make excuses for it.
Everyone forgets what an awesome and landmark scene this is.

"our daughter's daughters will adore us, and they'll sing in grateful chous, well done sister suffragettes!" makes me quite sad. I wish the majority DID appreciate what both men and women did to secure a democratic vote for everyone. Can I genuinely say, well done sister suffragettes and thank you to everyone who has fought and in some cases died to secure democracy and the vote for us all. Great video, and great film :D

Now that we've got the men vs. women argument out of the way, let's discuss how the scene neatly tries to glaze over the class issue of women's suffrage by flattening the differences in these women's social reality :o)

We got equality? And that would be since? Women still earn less than men! Men are still more "worth" than women....just look at the image traditional "womens professions" have. We're far from being equal!

@leedonaldt I was too harsh & I apologise for that. But I still dont see why women/girls should forever have to be appreciative for finally being treated as fully human in the eyes of the law.Of course,some women suffered greatly to get us here,but rather than simply being grateful,we should have the right to act like utter fools if we so wish,in the same way a great number of men and boys do,with no one admonishing them for showing insufficient respect to those who gave them the right to vote

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 did not have the vote.
Representation of the People Act 1918:- Universal suffrage for males over 21 females over 30.
Representation of the People Act 1928 - Votes for all over 21.
In photos the policemen arresting the suffragettes did not have the vote either.

rights with children over fathers. I am by no means suggesting there are not areas were women don't suffer discrimation as well but in the context of the United Kingdom, I think it is rediculous for you to pretend that men live in some of paradise and women in some sort of hell. Feminists have demonstrated time and again they are motivated by power and not equality. If you truly cared about equality you would speak up on the occasionally unfair treatment of men, instead you make excuses for it.
