This is the lot of feminism. every feminist position that is fought for is considered to be insane, demanding, deranged, selfish, bitter and wrong - till it is won; then it is considered to be so manifestly reasonable that no one believes it was every fought for, in the teeth of violent opposition.
Exactly.
We take our right to be able to vote totally for granted. But at the time some women who were suffragettes were ostracised, they were accused of all sorts, other women thought they were awful people. I think a lot of people now think that Suffragettes were cheered on from the beginning by everyone or something? That all they did was hold up some signs saying 'well Behaved Women don't make history: girl power' or similar platitudes, and that was it, we got the vote.
I'm sure that women like Jameela Jamil for example would imagine that they would be at the front of the queue to protest about women getting a vote. I mean, votes for women, it's a no brainer right? But looking at the way that she is so eager to centre males now, even males who are rapists and sex offenders (her unfortunate 'I take them all' tweets) something tells me that it wouldn't be quite as simple as that?
