Your blood will boil, but notice the memes.... More things change... the more...

Before the 19th amendment came along in 1920, only men could cast votes in an election. The fight for women's rights was long and hard, and the suffragists were met with plenty of opposition from people who believed that women couldn't handle the responsibility of voting.

These posters and postcards depict some of the rampant sexism that raged during the suffragist movement, and man oh man (pun intended?), are they ridiculous.

Many more at the link:

I think people today think that women never faced 'real' discrimination, and that in less than 100 years of getting the vote, we are all EQUAL and that the vote was enough for the female sex. The sexism portrayed in these vintage posters are well and alive in todays world.

9. Really

you want people to not know that the crazy is still out there. This is exactly the kind of thing we are fighting so with all due respect I am not going to delete this.

Fuck 'em.

6. Oh yeah same shit

I read novels from 15 years ago that still use the word 'frigid'. We are called pearl clutches, prudes--and I sooo want to say something to refute that but I never do-- because fuck that and fuck them. We see 'catty' or cat fight' all the time. 10 years ago Larry summers was questioning women's ability to use math. HC gets called "shrill". It just ever fucking ends

And it's why I'll never fucking stop fighting.

11. whenever I see the "man-hating misandrist" card being played, I assume the person's

a misogynistic, sexist jackass, regardless of their gender.
