Summary

In this episode, we discuss the early women's movement in the 1800s and early 1900s, the anti-suffrage movement, and the women who fought for women's suffrage. We also discuss the lack of women in the suffrage movement at the turn of the 20th century, and why the first woman to vote was not a feminist.

00:00:00.000 and and that also comes out of all these religious and philosophical ideas so
00:00:05.600 basically you just had these intellectual circles in the mid-1800s and they start to get more and
00:00:13.200 more liberal with pushing women to the front and having them be speakers and having them be writers
00:00:20.000 in the united states we had margaret fuller who was probably the first the first person
00:00:25.520 writing that was popular who talked about gender abolition so she she was part of the transcendental
00:00:33.680 club and felt like communism and and humanity moving to into the new age we need equality we
00:00:40.560 need to get rid of gender ideas we need to stop limiting humanity with gender roles so these ideas
00:00:46.960 are pretty old this is this idea of uh gender abolition which sounds really new to most of us
00:00:53.520 like oh it only kind of popped up in the last 10 years that actually comes out of the 1840s there
00:00:58.640 were already people saying this yeah wow so and so when women it got the right to vote was it the late
00:01:06.320 1800s or early 1900 1920 ish is right in the united states it was 1920 in england they kind of phased
00:01:14.320 it in but right around the same time so i'd say around right around 1920. so i heard that in the
00:01:19.680 1800s like they were like the women's movement was planning and associations and that they were
00:01:25.360 actually like no like they weren't known as a peaceful movement at all like could you tell me
00:01:30.960 more about that sure yeah a lot of women who were in the suffrage movement were basically terrorists
00:01:36.800 so they would do bombings poisonings assassinations they would um you know burn down buildings put rocks
00:01:44.640 through storefronts um and they would get arrested quite often and put in prison and then they would
00:01:51.040 go on hunger strikes now this is something that i hear all the time because feminists who really hate
00:01:56.880 me will say you wouldn't even be allowed to be on the internet talking right now if it weren't for the
00:02:01.760 brave women who came before you and made it too yes well but the first female it doesn't make sense
00:02:09.200 because the first female millionaire was like the she was in the early 1900s or late 1800s you don't
00:02:15.280 talk about 1800s yes yeah yeah it was um that lady they made the movie about you know i'm talking about
00:02:21.120 yeah there's there were actually a handful of them um and one of the first one of the wealthiest women
00:02:26.960 who'd funded suffrage uh she's in the book her name was elva vanderbilt belmont so she married into
00:02:35.120 the vanderbilt family and got one of the first ever divorces that wealthy people had in the united
00:02:42.640 states she got a ton of money out of that divorce settlement and this was she alleged that her
00:02:48.480 spouse was cheating got a divorce got a huge divorce settlement inherited a bunch of properties from
00:02:54.720 this man's family from a vanderbilt then she married his best friend typical feminist kind of move
00:03:01.280 right married the best friend who's also wealthy he was from the belmont family and they were like
00:03:06.240 bankers and uh financial advisors to the wild again did she do it again she did well he died
00:03:14.320 he drank himself to death and died so she got yet another inheritance and became i think she was at
00:03:19.840 the time the world's wealthiest woman and so she she said after that she was done with men and she was
00:03:26.080 going to dedicate the rest of her life to feminism and the suffrage movement and she funded most of it
00:03:31.920 so when these women would get put in prison for doing terrorist activities she would bail them out she
00:03:37.440 would put up their bail money and get them out of jail and help them reorganize get back out there and
00:03:42.640 continue doing this stuff and again this is even at this time we're talking turn of the century right
00:03:49.360 around 1900 1910s um suffrage was still deeply unpopular with women only about four percent of
00:03:57.680 women and all of the like straw polls that they would do at the time or um where they're doing like a
00:04:03.360 survey to ask women if they even want suffrage on the ballot at that time from all the data i could find
00:04:09.440 it was about four percent of women who were interested they had much bigger membership in anti-suffrage groups
00:04:16.320 way more women members than they had in pro-suffrage groups um and i'm working on another book right now
00:04:23.840 about what the anti-suffrage women said because they put out a lot of writings and pamphlets and
00:04:30.400 political tracks as well and they have really great solid reasoning for not wanting the vote that okay that
00:04:37.040 was what switched my opinion on voting because i always thought there was like three waves of fem that's
00:04:42.640 always what you hear right there's three waves of feminism and like the second and third were bad
00:04:47.200 but the first was good until i heard on like a crowder episode that like women didn't want the
00:04:52.160 right to vote so i was like well why wouldn't they want that like you know it's not like i'm like like
00:04:57.520 they had to have had a reason right right so then i started looking at like i started looking up some
00:05:02.400 anti-suffrage like writings and this woman was writing how it was like the breakdown of the family and how
00:05:08.000 you're supposed to like two are supposed to be one flesh and i was like day that's kind of what
00:05:12.960 happened it is what happened saying this is going to be the breakdown of the family this can't happen
00:05:18.080 i'm like well dead like the based woman like she was right and so that's when i realized it wasn't like
00:05:25.040 what i thought no it's definitely not what anyone thinks we've all been sold like a certain packaged
00:05:32.000 version of feminism and the reason for that because you might be asking yourself okay there's the
00:05:37.440 mainline history of all this stuff that everyone's kind of heard what makes me think that rachel has
00:05:43.200 just like found all this stuff that nobody else knows well the reason is because in the in uh the
00:05:48.720 late 60s when the ford foundation and the rockefeller foundation literally created women's studies that
00:05:55.760 was not a field of study until like 1970 they created it for the purposes of continuing this
00:06:01.840 social engineering that they were already working on and once that happened and they gave tons of
00:06:08.240 funding to major universities to create women's studies departments um they basically became the
00:06:14.640 gatekeepers of all the history so the margaret sanger papers um any of the historical collections
00:06:20.880 that we have that would tell you all of this information it is in the libraries of the gender
00:06:27.280 studies departments at these huge universities and the professors there kind of get to gatekeep
00:06:33.120 the information translate it and package it and then give it to students write books do things like so
00:06:39.840 they kind of disseminate the information and they they literally come right out and say that they do that
00:06:46.080 from a feminist standpoint because and here's their reasoning they said well the real history like the
00:06:52.960 the the unbiased not that there's ever truly unbiased history but the the historical narrative
00:06:59.840 that existed before 1970 well that was written by men so they're going to put a patriarchal spin on it
00:07:07.200 and we don't like that so we're going to rewrite it we're going to literally rewrite women's history
00:07:12.080 from the standpoint of the oppressed woman and it's called standpoint feminism and they're very
00:07:17.760 upfront about it they don't even deny doing that they say yeah of course we took the history and we
00:07:23.120 rewrote it from the perspective of the oppressed woman so from their perspective so the story that
00:07:29.760 everyone has gotten is not anything close to what really happened it's their version it's through a
00:07:36.560 feminist lens what they think happened okay because that's what i realized too because i started
00:07:42.400 they're all giving me flat because i was on a stream once and i said you know all these studies
00:07:48.480 that come out i don't need a study to tell me anything like like and i what i mean is like
00:07:54.400 i'll see studies that say the sky isn't blue and if i look up the little say it's it's pink and i'm like
00:08:01.280 well i'm looking at it now it's blue and what i realized is i think there's a lot of studies like
00:08:07.040 pushed out by like feminism where like it's like made in these universities and it's like
00:08:13.360 with their idea like there's something with the level of studies where like the quality has gone
00:08:17.680 down and i don't know how or why i'm not i'm not a big you know academic like yeah but i'm just like
00:08:25.120 i'm as an outsider looking in it's like something's off you know you could just like feel it like you could
00:08:30.640 just i don't know yeah if you have just like a little bit of a if you're somebody like you who's
00:08:35.840 like well but i want to know what's really going on here because what you're telling me doesn't match
00:08:40.320 up with like the problems i'm seeing going on in my culture right now like you're a young woman who's
00:08:45.280 trying to figure out dating relationships marriage uh why is marriage such a crumbling institution why
00:08:51.200 are all the children being raised by single mom like what's what's at the bottom of this what's
00:08:55.120 going on here and when you try to actually dig into the history it's very difficult because they
00:09:00.560 gatekeep the history they they kind of co-opted it and turned it into what they want it to be
00:09:06.240 for propaganda purposes so that they can steer the the social movements right they do this it's kind
00:09:13.200 of like the um black lives matter where they'll rewrite the history there as well what's that called
00:09:19.040 like the 19 the 1815 project or something like that i can't i can never remember the year but
00:09:25.520 it's basically where they'll kind of rewrite history from the from the perspective of the oppressed
00:09:31.680 you know black slave it's very similar to that they just do it with women instead
