Can you quote a Suffragette calling herself a feminist?

Thanks, Bjorn. I was going to research later today. I knew it was a thing.

So the answer is no. It's just recasting the woman's right movement as "feminism". Thanks. Read the article next time.

I mean.. I asked for a quote from an actual Suffragette leader calling herself a "feminist" and all I get is more nonsense of people trying to rewrite history.

The actual origin of the word itself is from a 19th century socialist. Suffragettes were not socialists. Most of them were fucking republicans.

Can you please quote one of the leaders of the Suffragettes calling herself a "feminist"? Thanks.

But would those early pioneers recognize the movement that claims to speak for the rights of women today?

On the issue of abortion, they would not. Many of today’s feminists see abortion as one of the touchstones of their movement. Yet many of the early leaders of the women’s suffrage movement in the U.S. believed that the rights of mother and child are inextricably linked and that the right to life and the right to vote are rooted in the inherent dignity of each human person.

The public statements of many early champions of women’s rights in the U.S. make clear their opposition. Elizabeth Cady Stanton referred to abortion as “infanticide” and wrote that “when we consider that women are treated as property, it is degrading to women that we should treat our children as property to be disposed of as we see fit.” Victoria Woodhull, the first female candidate for president, wrote: “Every woman knows that if she were free, she would never bear an unwished-for child, nor think of murdering one before its birth.” And Elizabeth Blackwell, the first woman to receive a medical degree in the U.S., wrote: “The gross perversion and destruction of motherhood by the abortionist filled me with indignation, and awakened active antagonism.”

Mrs. Pankhurst’s American counterpart, Susan B. Anthony, was a friend and heroine to many of these women. Along with Cady Stanton, she founded The Revolution newspaper, which served as a mouthpiece for the American women’s suffrage movement. Anthony funded the paper herself, refusing the capital that would have resulted from allowing advertisements for “restellism,” as abortion was then called. The Revolution published a piece, attributable to Anthony, that said abortion was a choice that would burden both a woman’s “conscience in life and soul in death” and also ultimately an exploitation of women.

These women were often fucked up in their own way, but they were NOT feminists.

Feminism is a cultural Marxist ideology that divides the oppressor and oppressed classes by gender, and seeks to destroy the oppressor class at all costs. It's not about gender equality and never was (but neither were Suffragettes about gender equality either). The people who started it were literally Marxists. The Suffragettes were republicans. There were, in fact, socialists in those days and those people were talking about a "feminism" that was a bit different than the hate movement we see today. The Suffragettes were not that.

I grow tired of the Orwellian fake history and trying to control the world by distorting language and meanings of words.
