You know, and the average person would say, yeah, I think that that was good.
But that's because they don't know the real history.
And the reason they don't know the real history is because when they invented gender studies and women's studies, which were created by the Ford Foundation with some help from the Rockefellers and the Carnegies in the late 60s.
They literally rewrote the history of how women's suffrage happened.
So there's a professor named Joseph Miller who did an examination of 12, the main 12 textbooks that are most commonly used in all the Western universities to teach women's history.
and he's not even like a right winger he's like a liberal college professor but when he looked and examined those 12 textbooks and compared them to the actual writings you know newspaper articles writings of feminists themselves public debates held between suffragists and anti-suffragists all of the writings of anti-suffragist groups which far outnumbered pro-suffragist groups
He found that they left out huge chunks of what really happened or intentionally misrepresented what actually happened on purpose to kind of sell feminism as something different than what it what it really was.
So what did they leave out?
So the most important thing they left out was that women did not want women's liberation.
Everybody assumes and believes that it was a grassroots thing that women kind of looked around in the 19th century and they went, you know, we're oppressed.
We don't have any rights.

I need a bank account.
I want to go to university.
