It's an interesting fact that it was 1972 before a woman could get her own credit card without being married and having the permission of her husband in America.

Let’s not forget that in the UK until the representation of the people act become law in 1918 men who did not own property did not have the right to vote. So whilst women got the right to vote 100 years ago men got the right to vote 102 years ago. I have asked plenty of women when they think men got the right to vote, usually they seem to think it was some time in the Middle Ages. Let’s remember that the fight was not between women and men, it was between the oppressed masses of both sexes and the ruling class. That same fight is still with us today it just takes different forms.

I know a lot of people who are opposed or turned off by these subjects because of mainly one thing--double standards. I wholeheartedly know they exist and I genuinely will fight against them. However in the light that women cannot guarantee paid maternity leave, proper health care and the right to their own reproductive system is NOT a double standard. Paid parental leave also affects men, I do realize that, but the rest are nothing close to double standards. These are basic rights that I will continue advocating for. Our world is not black and white (the colors, not race) so do not let our opinions be either. Fight against general injustice, and sometimes that injustice is deep within the context of someone's situation. I hope you all are faring well in this unknown and turbulent time, please stay safe!

I believe in equal rights but when it comes to kids, woman dominate that space. Unfair. Double standard and this movement is no longer about equal rights.

My family signed the Seneca Falls convention with Fredrick Douglass. So proud, at the same time, I am ashamed we are going backwards in womens rights

Let's be real here. Women's rights are not going to do all that much when voting between people the likes of Hillary or Trump.

I was overwhelmed when I learned that even with the horror of slavery, women didn't get the right to vote until 100 years after slaves got the right to vote. It shows not only the disrespect for race, but especially the disrespect for women of any race.

Please don't hardcode subtitles. It makes it very hard for people with ADHD and similar processing disorders to do anything but read the words, which rather defeats the point of video

I didn't know that the first suffragettes opposed black men from voting. You just brushed through that fact as just a side note in this story. That fact is deplorable and disgusting and should have been called out as the biggest part of this story.
