The Suffragette movement began in earnest in 1848 at a women’s rights convention in Seneca Falls, New York, which went onto inspire women across America to form their own groups and attend conventions similar in nature. Initially, the movement formed as a way to help women earn the right to vote, but there were also Suffragettes who weren’t so hot on men, hence this pamphlet.

Admittedly, even though the views in this pamphlet are virulently anti-male, it’s really funny. And we can’t speak to whether or not yard swillers make good husbands, we can say that it’s always nice to be fed, whether or not you’re a brute.

    not all that funny, when you look out on the devastation that advice wrought on America, since. And what this generation of women are reaping now = the strange and bitter fruits from man-hate-ing. When the mask of feminin-ism slips, it reveals anti-christ communism. Which – just by the most amazing co-incidence … came on the scene in 1848, too
