Suffragettes In England-Emmeline Pankhurst

[richardsbrandonuca]

Universal Male Sufferage was not till 1918, not 1848. Check your facts.

lol emmeline was my best friend's auntie! no joke! i've seen the family tree and everything! and it isn't pronounced 'emma - line' it's 'Emma - leen' ooh and my best friend is called Emma after Emmeline

My opinion is Suffragettes> Feminists. At least the suffragettes were still women who dressed like women rather than feminists who want to be men and dress like us which is pathetic.

[hebay2]

I discovered I'm related to emiline Pankhurst on my grandmothers side and often wonder if its why the woman in my family have always been so bitter..I do however respect what they stood for and acheived

[ninjagirlninjagirl]

@hebay2

if that's true, then i'm the queen of shiba

[MyJoey90]

I have the rights to vote men out of my life..

[WORLD8NSH5KNIGHT1]

The campaign for voting equality was important but Emmeline Pankhurst had blood on her hands. She supported the white feather campaign which 'shamed' many men into cannon fodder.

[videodads]

Pro-feminist people tend to try and pretend that all men could vote much longer than women - it is misinformation and deceitful to pretend otherwise.

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.

@richardsbrandonuca The Suffragettes ceased activities at the start of WW1. Emeline Pankhurst and most others from the movement became part of the campaign to recuit soldiers. 700,000 young British men were killed, the vast majority of which could not vote .

@richardsbrandonuca

Why do you men have to hijack every darned thing and bring the subject back to yourselves? Oh yeah, I forgot -- because patriarchy is alive and well, and just as invisible as ever.....!

[richardsbrandonuca]

@bundleHastings  I was trying to be helpful and informative. Surely the more information the better? It never occurred to you I was female?

[WORLD8NSH5KNIGHT1]

As far as im concerned western feminism has yet to prove it is truly about egalitarianism. Like I say granting votes to women was necessary as a basic democratic right so from that perspective, the suffragist movement was important but in cases of unfairness towards men, the usual response from feminists is either excuses or ridicule. In custodial sentencing, parental custody and several other important issues, men are not treated fairly. So if feminists believe in equality why do they NEVER

[WORLD8NSH5KNIGHT1]

cont.... seem to speak out on this? In the UK if a man is guilty of rape he will receive a firm prison sentence (and rightly so) but in cases were women have been proven to lie about rape (yes it does happen) the usual punishment is a few hundred hours of a community sentence. Yet an innocent mans life could be utterly ruined. So where are feminists in condemning such women or indeed this rediculously unbalanced sentencing? When they do speak on it they refuse to acknowledge such cases exist.

[WORLD8NSH5KNIGHT1]

Any analysis on the Suffragist movement in England needs to acknowledge the role they played in WW1. On the outbreak of war, over 50% of suffragists voted in favour of the conflict and some including Emmeline and Christabel Pankhurst were fiercely in favour. Many took part in the 'white feather' campaign which to those who don't know involved 'shaming' male friends and relatives into joining the forces by handing them a white feather representing 'cowardice' They even targeted men who were cont;

[WORLD8NSH5KNIGHT1]

cont.... serving but were on leave. Another tactic was to approach men pretending to be friendly and then within feet from them, turn away in disgust (as recounted by a veteran BBC 'The Great War', 1964). This sort of societal pressure allmost certainly sent many men to an early death. Whilst it should be recognised that some suffragists such as Sylvia Pankhurst opposed this (and her group helped to protect conscientious objectors), this fact should not be forgotten when people paint the cont;

[WORLD8NSH5KNIGHT1]

suffragists to be entirely innocent victims. In this regard they were just as guilty as Lord Kitchener and his cronies in the hysterical pro-war atmosphere that was gripping the country at the time. Women in London also engaged in a violent anti-German campaign, targeting German businesses and properties in the capital, even those of third/fourth generation. Whilst anger was understandable to an extent (it came in the wake of the Zeppelin raids) this sort of vigilantism counters the noble image

[WORLD8NSH5KNIGHT1]

cont... many feminists often portray the suffragists as. I happen to think the suffrage movement had important goals in securing the vote for women but before people martyrise them all as great heroines, they should analise the various groups, sometimes opposing, within the movement. The WSPU for instance engaged in a campaign of arson and even targeted the home of David Lloyd George (even though he was in favour of granting votes to women). The NUWSS of Millicent Fawcett favoured more peaceful

[WORLD8NSH5KNIGHT1]

..... measures but it too engaged in the white feather campaign.

[videodads]

@WORLD8NSH5KNIGHT1 absolutely right, W8... but feminists don't want true equality nor do they want history being shown - they want to misrepresent history and women as victims. They don't care that women of the time demanded equality on one hand yet promoted INequality on the other hand... whichever favours women, feminists vote for. They do NOT want true equality.

hi, im doing a research paper on emmeline.I know its been a long time but do u remember where you got any of this info?

[lilacrose1128]

i went to my local library mostly and then looked online

[88style83]

Men are more likely to be victims of any violent crime except sexual misconduct. That being said, I'd take rape over murder any day of the week. While men are also more likely to be the perpetrators, do we say, "black men are more likely to commit crime, that makes them the oppressors?"

Why is violence so much worse when the victim has breasts?

It is this sort of behavior that converted Warren Farrell, ex-director of NOW, to leave the organization and admit that feminism is largely man-hate.

[robs13765]

my sir names Pankhurst .... iv always wondered

[BozalliCopter]

@robs13765  Sylvia Pankhurst, the shunned daughter of Emmeline is the namesake you can really be proud of, due to her socialist and anti-war work, and the way she helped poor women whilst her mother and sister were pandering to the upper classes.
