My wife is a female. My daughters are females. My dog is a female. My cat is a female. I am a male. It still completely blows my mind that just 100 years ago women could not vote in the United States, and only five years ago were women granted suffrage in Saudi Arabia. What a world we live in. 

This video is one of the most important videos I think I've made. Not saying it is one of my best, but boy did I sure try, and I had a lot of help. Thanks to all who helped me make it, particularly my partner in crime, Mrs. Beat, who took on my name because of the patriarchy.  Dang patriarchy. I should be Mr. Kenney. Anyway, also thanks to Mr. Wade from Virtualhistory360 and all the women who read nasty quotes from "smart" men from 100 years ago. Most of those women have Phds or masters degrees, by the way. 

Next Tuesday is the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th amendment. 

Thank you all for your continued support.

I know, I know, it's a bit weird they are sponsoring this video, but most of you reading this right now are men. Mr. Beat explains the long and difficult struggle for women to get the right the vote, while looking at the ridiculous justifications folks used to make for women to NOT vote.

That’s the Amendment to the U.S. Constitution that finally gave women the right to vote, aka women’s suffrage. In other words, finally every adult could vote. Hey Ellie, can we take a look at it? I just want to show for the folks. That’s my cat, Ellie, over there. I’m trying to train her to help me out with these videos. Yeah just click that button. There we go. Thanks! "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation." It’s simple enough, right? But it still blows my mind that it took so freaking long. I mean, 1920. That’s really not that long ago. It’s crazy. In this video, let’s briefly look at the long and difficult struggle for women to finally get to vote, particularly here in the United States. It all started with the Iroquois in modern-day upstate New York. Also known as the Six Nations- they referred to themselves as the Haudenosaunee. The Iroquois Confederacy formed in 1142, and when they did they didn’t say only men could vote. They let all adults vote on all major decisions. It wasn’t just voting. The Iroquois generally treated men and women equally. After democracy made a comeback during The Enlightenment, you did see random circumstances where women were able to vote. For example, there was Lydia Taft, the first woman known to legally vote in colonial America, but it really was on behalf of her dead husband. Back then, being able to vote was almost always tied to owning property, and who owned the property? Men. #womenssuffrage #19thamendment #ushistory

This is such a difficult subject because even with all the crazy ramblings against suffrage, not allowing voting rights to be passed down as an inheritance was progressive in and of itself in our early history.  England had an upper house limited to "Lords and Ladies" until the second half of the last century that was largely an inheritance system.  In other words, not only did you have to be male (or be a woman voting in the stead of a man's estate), but you had to be a titled aristocrat.  To my way of thinking, any discussion of the history of Women's Suffrage, should also include a discussion of Chartism, to provide historical context, and give the Woman's Suffrage political credibility beyond the obvious aspects.  But again, I am old and stodgy by now, and "mine is not made for sportive tricks or to stare into an amorous looking glass."  In other words, maybe I'm just a hater.

Yeah, the Chartist movement also mirrors more localized movements going down in the United States at the time, and you could argue that the United States influenced Chartism. By the late 1820s, most white men, regardless of whether or not they had status or owned property, could vote in the U.S., and this was well ahead of the curve in the world.

Hey Mr. Beat! We joined your Patreon because we are such huge fans of your work. We also have a Patreon podcast (but it is embarrassing and useless compared to yours :-) THAT SAID: we also have a regular (free) Apple podcast, and while it is still pretty dumb compared to your videos, it's a political podcast and not quite as useless as our Patreon (which is meant to be a break from critical thinking). This is a rambling weird message, all to say that we'd love to have you on as a guest, if you'd be willing.. It's called DUMB GAY POLITICS, and we are going to include a link to our episode with Andrew Yang. Cheers! And thanks for everything that you do! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/andrew-yang-on-dgp-literally-in-person/id1181557793?i=1000487062991
