...That's why I said white men specifically. These races you mentioned still have to deal with systemic issues in 2018.Benefiting white men. But what about poor men, black men, asian men, south american men, men of different races. The slaughter of Indians. Not all men had those same rights.
I mean that's fine, and if you want to make a case against global sexism then this is a good point to make. I was pretty sure we were discussing America in particular, though, and here women didn't get the right to vote until well after white men had it.Lets take for example in the UK. A good chunk of males males did not get the right to vote till 1918 the same year women got the vote.
Not surprising, obviously democracy didn't exist for the better part of history.Before that males fought for their right to vote. In the 1832 the Great Reform Act increase 1 in 7 males the right to vote. And more reform acts through out the years till Universal male suffrage was achieved in 1918. They didn't want poor men to have the right to vote, but it was until WW1 that got them Universal Male Suffrage with the representation of peoples act. It was a similar story in other countries of voting rights not existing till 1800's and 1900's.
At the time there were bigger problems, like trying to live to see the age of 30.Most jobs that existed today didn't exist in the early 1800's and before that. Most people were farmers. So what jobs were women being barred from?
Welp, this thread has bottomed out.Harvey Weinstein did nothing wrong.
