"Terrorists?": The Suffragette Arson and Bombing Campaign – Egham Museum (opens in new tab)

I don't agree that the suffragists are forgotten. Beyond that though, I'd say that lots of successful liberation movements have had multiple wings with different methods.

I think the point is that they weren't "forgotten" but deliberately repackaged. And this action is going on today. Scroll down to the dead posts. There's one that gives a very factual account of how some suffragettes joined up with the Fascist movement in the 1930s. They were probably rooting for Hitler. Yet, someone quickly down voted that factoid out of the main stream.

After having spent 20+ years growing up in rural FL, I've been telling people for years now that: "poor people are the new negro".

If you are poor, than you look poor usually. And people ABSOLUTELY treat you differently from the government to the local store.

I lived in one really messed up part of FL called interlachen that really opened my eyes to that fact.

Voting not being effective is quite a long way from voting not being allowed at all.

However, if we get to the point when control over their own lives is denied to people, it won't be unreasonable for them to resist. We've had slave revolutions before, and they weren't morally wrong.

Do you genuinely believe that to be an equivalent situation to the historical oppression of women?

They attempted to bomb a prison notorious for holding and torturing women. Some windows were broken in nearby houses [1], and I don't think there are any reports of actual injuries to the children.

Significantly worse collateral damage is accepted daily for far weaker reasons; broken glass from windows is something that wouldn't even be mentioned in any other context. Recently, the US dropped a bomb on a school directly--if the suffragettes should be castigated for the windows, what do you think of that country?
