I'm more of a sense that it's a supremacism movement.

You got to remember that, like, say since like 1850 until 1920, that's when 1920 was when the 19th amendment was ratified.

Okay.

So you're looking at about 70 years and that's when people kept saying it was, uh, the suffragette movement and all that good stuff.

Um,

You have to remember that back in those times, if you do any of the homework here, the feminists who were part of the suffragette movement right then were considered terrorists.

I mean, they were responsible for bombing police precincts.

They were responsible for assassination attempts.

Um, uh, if you, what's, what's the day, Katie something or other, I can't remember her name.

Um, if you read, read some of the writings of the early suffragettes and feminists is very racist, is very supremacist.

Um, and so it was understandable that it didn't even gain any kind of legitimacy until, you know, post world war one.

So I've always looked at the feminist movement as a, a constant movement.

There's no, there's no waves of feminism.

I think it's a misnomer to characterize it that way.

It has always been the same thing since, well, I would say 1848, 49, something like that.

I think it was when Seneca falls happened.

Um, I didn't know it went that far back.

Yeah.

I thought it was, yeah, you should look up the Seneca falls convention.

It's really, there's only 300 people that went to, um, it was really the beginning of the suffragette movement and it was, it took place not only in the United States, but also in the UK and parts of Western Europe as well.
