100 years since equal suffrage

[Fame Monster]

Lots of programmes on at the minute celebrating women getting the right to vote. Weird thing is, most woman I know have zero interest in politics and hardly ever vote and probably think Sajid Javid opens the batting for India. From my experience (and I accept my life experience might not be truly representative), almost all women I know would prefer to sit through an episode of Towie or Love Island than watch Question Time or Newsnight. So I suppose the question is, has equal suffrage been a progressive force for good or another example of PC gone mad?

It coincided with working class men getting the vote too.

Not heard that mentioned though.

Interesting that we discriminated on grounds of class/ownership but unlike a lot of other countries, never on grounds of race.

Jokes aside this sums up what is wrong in politics right now - everybody takes the vote for granted - nobody cares - too few vote..............

I know it’s a joke, but this thread is probably a good example as to why you can’t win when trying to moderate the site. Delete it and some will complain about political correctness gone mad, excessive censorship etc. Leave it and others will complain about the casual sexism and misogyny on here. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.
