Great channel from a retired PHD who’s been studying feminism and it’s affects on modern academia and society. Good info.

    You apparently didn’t watch the video. Please do so before you spread more disinformation.

    Women already did own property, and were able to receive an education, and most definitely were not an untapped resource for labor. As was explained in the video, with evidence given.

    Yes, they may not have had the right to vote or to hold public office, but neither did most men. It was the struggle for universal suffrage which gave both men and women the vote.

      In the same manner as man? There were rather obvious differences in written law as well as in societal rules, regarding men and women.

      I really don’t understand the point in denying historical role of feminism for the progress in women rights.

        It was categorically denied (by the top level commenter, and repeated by you) that women had those rights. That is the disinformation that feminism keeps spreading with its propaganda.

        Please get up to speed by actually watching the video. Otherwise discussion is useless.

          No, at least in my case that is just a very uncharitable interpretation of my words. The point of feminism is to get equal rights (we seem fundamentally to disagree here, but that is my point of view), so I listed things that historically were clearly differently regulated for women and men - to exemplify where feminism strove for more equality. Other movements had different foci. Socialists were more focused on workers rights vs. capital owner, or others were more focused on individual rights vs. the sate.

          Obviously all these inequalities have intertwined roots, which is recognized in modern intersectional feminism.
