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.

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.

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

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.

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

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