Suffragette Anniversary - The Last Leg 

It wasn't full voting rights either. It was only married women over 30. Women didn't get the same voting rights as men until 1928

That "crikey to streuth" line gets me every time

Thank you for saying some women

In 1866, Parliament debated a bill that would give the vote to "respectable working men", but exclude the "feckless and criminal poor". This sparked fierce debate, led to the fall of one government and the rise of another, sparked mass public demonstrations, and inspired criticism that the proposals either went too far or not far enough. Eventually, the result was the Second Reform Act of 1867. This gave the vote to all men who personally paid rates (property tax) in Britain's towns and cities. In effect, it enfranchised the head of household in every family, including working class households. Originally the Act had been intended to only enfranchise home-owners, but a parallel law passed soon after made tenants liable to pay the rates on the property they rented: so in effect, this measure enfranchised them too since they became rate-payers. The 1867 Reform Act doubled the number of voters in England and Wales from one in seven men to almost 30% of them. The Third Reform Act of 1884 extended the same wider franchise to the countryside as the 1867 Act had introduced in the boroughs. Since mediaeval times, England had different franchises in different parts of the country: this law abolished that in favour of a single uniform franchise. The 1884 Act again doubled the size of the electorate from 30% to over 60% of all adult men. It enfranchised the rural working class. The 1918 Representation of the People Act, passed during the First World War, abolished the property qualification entirely and finally brought in universal suffrage for adult men. The men who received the vote by this law were the non-householders - crucially, this included soldiers who lived in barracks, since it was felt to be wholly unjust that they should be denied a vote when they were currently fighting for their country. The 1918 Act also gave the vote to women, though on a more limited basis than men. This discrimination was abolished ten years later in 1928 when women received full universal suffrage.

to be honest guys, New Zealand bet all of you for this back in 1893

My wimmins hands can fit all the way down a pringles tube :) I didn't realise for ages that other people weren't so privileged and had to tip em out and make a mess.

To be honest I live in Guildford, and if anyone said that to anyone I know they would be crucified

‘Any bird who wants to chain herself to my railing and suffer a jet movement! , gets my vote.’ Lord Flash Heart. 😂😂

1893 in my country. But then the ozzie guy lost a war against emus.

Name of the girl on the right?

Great show! In this country, we don't celebrate the Suffragettes for their hard work to get the vote here in the Untied States. We should celebrate them. Great going, ladies!

Slightly inaccuracy regarding the Suffragettes not highlighted there. At the time, woman who wanted the vote were either Suffragists (Peaceful protesters) and the term 'Suffragettes' was coined specifically -for the other group- only to look down on those who had decided that it was a time for action and wanted the vote through violent protests. (Also- just being a nerd for detail- not being political)

I haven't brought a Valentine's Day card for my husband in 18 years, I just let him live another year... Fair.

In 1838 Kentucky passed the first women's suffrage law.

i wish people understood that equality and social justice are not the same thing.

what does he not know ?

Genuine system used by a number of companies. If something hasn't sold well, they are released in pink to sell. Really sad part, it almost always works. This is where sexism in companies is only matched by women themselves. This is genuinely why I never buy a product which is only available in pink.

women are still being harmed/murdered for speaking up against those with authority/influence ... 103 years ago - many women and their loved ones suffered for their rights - and it still the case - fortunately, good men back and support their efforts... and clothes of the same size and quality and design are always more expensive in women's

This phrase "strong women," still bothers me hugely. Why isn't it an imediate assumption that strength goes with being a woman??? I din't get it!?

Why aren't they discussing the Suffragists but just the Suffragettes?

I make all cards at home.

Go women!

Isle of Man thanks for leading the way!....

The pay gap is stupid, everyone at my company is paid differently based on our skill and time spent at the company/experience. If you did exactly the same with with exactloy the same experience that's when you should be paid the same.

Once you pop, you must hop.

Is it just me... I so wanted those hula hoops to be real!!!!!

Me: Equal opportunity (i.e. voting rights) is essential. Me also: Equal outcome (i.e. gender quotas) is madness.

Yep he’s painted some sellotapes 🤣😂🤣🤣 lmfao

You shouldn't be cheering Saudi Arabia for doing something that most of the world had achieved a hundred years ago, the appropriate response is "about fucking time!" They still don't let women drive, own property, have a job, or be outside without a man accompanying them. We shouldn't be congratulating them on reaching a stage we as a nation reached ages ago, we should be telling them to get a move on.

i mean im grateful and all but they were all proper racist and classist lol

What's the Caramel beauty's name?

Hey, that chick interviewed Jeff Goldblum lol

Your pay gap is ONLY 9% !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not all the way yet? Oh I'm sorry, what rights do men have that women don't?

The Valentine's cards for men are more expensive because the print runs are much shorter.

Another thing I am pissed about is that men have to lower their wages (bbc I am looking at you) for women??? why not just give the women the same as the 'men'.

Bad news lady you won't get paid the same as him you are only a guest.

Hurry up and get sir andrew murray on

I'm looking very forward to the feminist line of "This woman can't be speaking about women's rights while objectifying herself and showing her legs." As a side note, why are her legs so bloody shiny?

An easy one for you guys must be Assange. Where is your commentary on this international human right abomination. Julian is white, he is in our face, he is from the west, he is honest, he is educated, he has principles, and he is white. Outside of the fact that his whiteness means nothing to him, he is Australian, so half a leg Adam, where is your support for this real international hero

I'm all for equal rights but why not address the way Islam treats women? Why does religion get a free pass?

their isn't a gender pay gap adam if women do the same jobs for the same hours as men do (whitch they tend not to) they get payed the same

Yeah, well done Saudi Arabia, but you took a step backwards in road safety in 2017. :-D

It was the Georgian era were men were alould to vote untl 19th the rest is histroy.

There is no gender pay gap. Do some research before you just say rubbish!

Bird at the end of the bench...her legs are so shiny, I thought she was wearing leather pants.

Not the best show on TV...

Why is she SOOO Orange who would choose to look like that??

Country has been going downhill ever since
