    Funny how suffragettes fought for all women’s voting rights, yet not all men’s.

    Women won the right to vote before all men did. Men still had to be land owners in Britain, and in the US men still (even today) can’t exercise their “right” to vote without signing up for the draft. So men’s rights are contingent, women’s aren’t.

      Funny how all men didn’t fight for any women’s rights, voting or otherwise.

      Funny how it was the existence of the draft that got the US voting age lowered from 21 to 18.

      Funny how it’s not feminists but traditionalists who oppose either extending the draft to women or eliminating it entirely.

      Not that anyone has been drafted in decades anyway, but in fairness.

      What an absolutely bizarre take.
