INTERESTING IF TRUE: Women led the opposition to the women’s suffrage movement. Were men behind it?
Given how unhappy, overworked and barren women are today, should it really come as a surprise that the leading voices AGAINST suffrage were women?
I once penned that an honest examination of the women’s suffrage moment would find MEN behind it. Get that Susan B. Anthony Cady Stanton Pocahantas the Riveter stuff outta here. It is MEN who wanted gullible women voting them free stuff from the state’s coffers. A few men at the top funding a movement that would bring them personal benefit, dragging mostly disinterested traditional middle class women along with them. So who exactly benefitted is the question. Cui bono?
It might sound like a strange theory. That said, a sober history of feminism has yet to be written.
