19th Amendment Ratified!

It took decades of work, misogynistic attacks, and religious pious outrage for the suffragettes to win the right to vote, as men had since the conception of the country.

Moms rule!

Is it any wonder most of those assholes that claimed to be Christians wanted women to stay home as a sperm bank?

Like this fucking asshole.
