Suffragettes and equality for women

[SydneyRover]

With the political events of the last few days, weeks and years brought this subject into focus, Sproty touched on it on another thread and rather than pursue it there my view is it deserves a thread of its own

More than a hundred years later and equality for women has still not been realised, there are more men in almost every profession in the country, men are paid more for similar work and as it's been said before it's not a woman's problem it a man problem.

Here's the wiki link to the suffragettes for those that want to catch up but I would rather hear what today's men think of a situation where they are part of the problem.

I personally think that it's deplorable and on a practical level dumb.

I dont want to detract from the main point of your question Sydney but just in case someone mentions terrorists - it was the Womens' Suffrage Campaign.

There were two main groupings in that. The Suffragists (main party NUWSS) who campaigned using only peaceful means and the Suffragettes (main party WSPU) who split from them to adopt more direct action.

Thank you Wilts I wasn't aware of that.
