... This makes me sick. This is serious. Someone inspirational fought for rights and gave up her rights to do so, and you put in in a video "Women Demolished by Horse" with some stupid rock music. And even worse are the fucking comments. Saying about how "stupid" women are and laughing + making jokes.

don't know how people can be so disrespectful. She died for us women to get the vote. Shes a hero

@MT6091 They also found a return ticket back from the derby in her pockets which may have shown she didn't intend to kill herself.

hahaha my history teacher told me it was on youtube now that i watched it im soo happy he did fuck that bich im laughing at her hard core

[MT6091]

Apparently (or according to the history textbook I have in front of me) Emily Davison didn't intend to die, she wanted to attach a Suffragette banner to the horse to gain further publicity for the cause. But obviously, there is still debate about this...

[chedoodle]

She threw herself in front of the horse intentionally (probably, there is still dispute) to help win women's rights.

@clevelandsteamland

We learnt about her in history lessons, trying to work out why she did this, in the end we decided that yes, she was trying to pin the suffragettes flag (G.W.V) to the horse, and she misjudged the space a little and got under the horse instead... She may have been trying to be hit by the horse, but not die, just get injured...
