The actual actions of Emily was not exactly like 'BAM, big accident, women get the vote' kind of thing but, It worked in a sense that made most people realise slowly that they really do want the vote, however the other side people say that it made bad publicity and made matters worse. However me being a girl myself i think that woman deserve the vote just as much as anybody else, i just wish that maybe it didnt have to be so drastic (:

@MissNephilimAngel Very poor powers of observation on your part. The people are rushing towards the figure lying on the ground, which is the jockey, not the horse.

[MissNephilimAngel]

It's disgusting how many people go to see if the horse is ok before they check on Emily.

or that they suffered. Just because my opinion doesn't accord with certain people's doesn't mean that my historical knowledge is somehow deficient. I appreciate your argument, but just think think certain people's arguments are too simplistic.

What do you know about my life? Did she do something for gay men's rights that I'm unaware of? If a gay man throws himself in front of HM's horse, do you think that would be praised in such glowing terms? You know nothing about my life, so don't criticize me for 'not knowing what women lived through then' when you know nothing about me. And just because I don't agree with her action doesn't mean I'm unaware of women's being treated as nothing more than their husbands' property back then

@JanetLeeuwerik I love how certain people think that just because she threw herself in front of a horse - and got herself killed - that directly got women the vote, that her action was praiseworthy or that she was immediately some kind of martyr; if anything, it damaged women's rights in certain people's eyes. If she'd done something equally rash like shooting the King, would that still be praised in such glowing terms? And I love how you say my life is easy...

@Blueeyedboy87 The way you write says it all. Maybe you are not impressed because life is so easy for us nowadays. So easy because people like her fought for a cause and made life easy on us. I wonder: what do you do? You probably only criticize other people. And I'll ask you the same question: what do you know about the way people and especially women lived then? Maybe it would be an idea for you to buy a history book. Read and learn and then come with some good arguments yourself.

@Sh0ck3rMaN 'Having balls' - as you so elegantly put it - is one thing; having sense is another...

WANKER!!!!!
