We are still not equal with men! But go women we will prevail!!! Love the video it is realy good.

[Foxburg]

as a male, from my perspective, you are right, Women are still not equal, they are in charge!!

Its hilarious how on some of the cartoons the women are drawn as ugly hard looking women. Why? because they have opinions and want to express their opinions.

My husband and I have to rely off two incomes to sustain our being. As a qualifed professional, I have worked hard academically and practically for both of us to have a lifestyle we love. If I sill belong "in the kitchen", as you say then we as a couple would cease to have food and our gorgeous home. Women need to work, to live, to be stimulated intellectually and socially and to thrive as people and not as the subbordinates of so called "male superiors". EQUAL RIGHTS FOR ALL!

While I was working on my report on Women's Suffrage in Britain I really thought that these strong women were heroines. I was so impressed by their courage and strength.

Mrs. Pankhurst finally got to vote after WWI, but poor Miss Davison was too late.

I think women have done bloody well to become equel with men. The agresive femanism that excists today is meerly a backlash of thousands of years of surpression. I do so wish women would put the brakes on it all now. A vast majority of men do value, love and respect women.

A female friend of mine said she wouldnt vote in the next election. So i quoted this song. "Well done, the sister suffragettes!!".....she voted conserative.

My great-great aunt was rrested three times. Once for attatching a banner reading ' votes for women' to the mayor of Salisbury's house, once for chaining herself to the railings at Parliment and for not filling out the census as, in herwords 'if we do not count we shall not be counted'

When I found this outI was IMENSELY proud of her.

[Ilma1984]

Well done, Sisters!

[CrystalLightning1]

I'll admit I am tipsy on rum right now, but that's because I want enough sleep to function at my job, for which I have 2 degrees for.

Any woman (or minority) who neglects their right to vote should be ashamed. That right was not won easily.

It is forgotten that many men did not have the vote either. Some facts:-

Reform Act 1832:- Resulted in 15% of males having the vote.

Representation of the People Act 1884:- Increased suffrage but still 40% of males still could not vote.

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.
