> Women Would Abolish Child Labor (and Other Anti-Suffrage Excuses) Because it's not an 'excuse' The women's suffrage movement did support abolishing child labor. This editorialising by shitty journalists sitting in a loft in NY is just annoying. Just report the facts. https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/145767551?browse=ndp%3Abrowse%2Ftitle%2FA%2Ftitle%2F746%2F1916%2F10%2F05%2Fpage%2F16651549%2Farticle%2F145767551 https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/145767551?browse=... These also had little to do with Anti-Suffrage reasons. The Anti-Suffrage movement had a large female support base.

  I can't read the article due to paywall, but the title seems clear enough: the idea that women would abolish child labour was used as an argument against allowing women to vote. Which is of course a horrible reason, and it paints the people who used this as an argument as horrible people.

  So your argument is entirely about the headline, and has nothing at all to do with the content of the article? You're getting downvotes because talking about the headlines is always fucking tedious, especially when you ignore the content of the article.

    1. This thread is about clickbait. 2. As mcv (karma 13432 points) points out in their comment about this, they can't read the paywalled article so have to base it on the headline. This article in plainly stated English is a series of non sequitur's to tie Trump to Child Labor and the Anti-Suffrage movement. Starting at the headline. Negative .... Negative .... Negative .... (coded Trump) This BS bores me so I'd like to at least talk about a fact, like what did the 19th Amendment do to child labor (probably a long term positive) and what did it do to Prohibitions (probably a long term negative)
