Ironically we’d have more freedom if women didn’t vote…

*photos taken seconds before disaster*

I bet the commenters who are saying the 19th Amendment was a "Huge mistake" or "And it's been downhill ever since haha" or anything like that are HUGE virgins who can't even talk to women if their lives depended on it.

[bxppo]

What was the point of giving them the right to vote because these days I barely see women voting

[Gods-bad-boy]

This was the beginning of the end...RIP USA

[EdmacZ]

Humanity’s greatest errors the lead to disasters

1) The Titanic
2) The Hindenburg
3) Allowing Women to vote.

Though it should be number one due to the countless number of lives it has destroyed.

The comments here are very uh...interesting. Wow, I bet you won't even say that to your mother. Seriously, it's 2019

[FutureMarineDevilDog]

And it's been downhill ever since haha

[mikecarone]

Here's a fun fact ever president since always had a clean shave

[boxychubbo]

Wyoming 1890? Try 1869. Nice job, History Channel. Jesus Christ. 😂

I didn’t supported feminism,
Then I saw this comment section.

[justjilly]

Not exactly the smartest thing Man has ever done.

[durudadlani]

Now they need to do 35th Amendment, Part IV. To install President who is not natural born American. Or to quickly replace a current incumbent.

[falseslimshady]

why is everyone in the comment section against women's suffrage? It's just people who want to vote.

[dave_riots]

There are women in military service right now, some even in combat roles. Does this not change the majority opinion on this topic?

[RoyalLee]

It must be scary to see women accomplish something this great. This was not a mistake and us women are not slaves to men. This act was very much needed, advice, support, and strength all come from women. We will continue to grow, continue to hold power, continue to shape the law, and continue to lead. Its clear alot of boys had many disruptive opinions on this matter and if growing up you still have the same mindset that shows who you are as a man. Our minds are just as intelligent its not a heart in our head its in our chest just as you. I refuse to be ok with women being a blank space to please you.

[b-i-c]

That they weren't allowed to vote from the start is...just ridiculous.

[Fandar]

The comments on this video are good reasons for misandry.

[Kay_Tale]

Wow these comments are...wow
no words

[kbar]

Do women need to be given the right to vote? Does that mean we need to give them the right to be President?
