Men thought Politics was too dirty and rough for women. The children that the lady has are all crying to her for help, while the boy that the man has is screaming and fighting. Most people would rather have 10 crying kids than an angry hard to control one. -------------------- Are you a good person? Take the good person test!

He sees a "votes for women" sign on the wall, and a "back some time this evening" note below it. I don't care for this cartoon, because it is saying that women can't be both mothers and be interested in politics. It was published by the Women's Anti-Suffrage Association of Massachusetts. That's the main thing I find interesting: to see an anti-suffrage cartoon published by women. I don't normally see anything about the women who didn't want the right to vote. -------------------- ~Work like you don't need money, Love like you've never been hurt, And dance like no one's watching~
