21 Posters Showing What Women Should ‘Thank A Feminist’ For

Thank you to the pioneer women who pushed for the rights of women. I proudly stand as a woman knowing I have these rights because of them and their suffrage to get us where we are today

Many women not only fought for women to vote, but most don't realize that these women were arrested, assaulted, feed food with maggots in them and when they refused to eat it their teeth were knocked out when they were force fed. Get out and vote. Our foremother suffered horrible abuse so you can vote.

I've read it all and shouldn't it all be obvious??? Even in the past? What kind of unfair creatures men use(d)? to be???

We need to teach our Daughters and more importantly our Granddaughters about the Women who fought for them, and are still fighting!

Woman got the vote in Alberta, but it wasn't until the 40s in Quebec. Individuals can make a difference--despite a huge system that opposes them--the system is just sometimes bigger and harder to break

The first university in the world in Morocco has been founded by a woman. Just saying

do you know how much sexist $h!+ goes on in colleges?

Here's some historical info. Pretty interesting. https://www.thoughtco.com/history-women-higher-ed-4129738

I really appreciate this right, and I have taken college courses. Ex-spouses required me to "dumb down" to fit their expectation that "all women are stupid." They are no longer in my life!

Didn't women found a lot of colleges?

For this, I cannot thank them enough! Pants (jeans in particular) are pretty much my only type of bottom-wear all year round =)

Where I used to work, they just recently abolished a company policy where women had to wear skirts and pantyhose...... in California, for a utility company........

I can remember having to go to school in -40 temperatures in a dress because "ladylike!". My mother insisted that my "polar" tights were just as warm as the flannel lined cords my brothers got to wear. So why did I have chilblains all over my legs, mom?

When I was a kid in the 60s, you could not wear pants to school, to church, or at some restaurants.

Still need to make pockets mandatory in womens trousers 😑

Have survived several marriages to men who demanded to have total control over every penny, and wanted to fight if I wanted to buy something with my own money. They are no longer a part of my life.

thank you feminists!

They also keep the money the men earn, too.

stupid. in whom and where and when are you thinking?!

In a lot of tribes is was the women who hunted and women who were warriors too. Women's role in society as a worker has changed over the years for many reasons. Women went to work during war, because the men were not there to do it. Queen Elizabeth was a Mechanic during WWII.

I remember when women were forced to resign (or just plain got fired) if they became pregnant. In the late 70's I was pregnant and could not get hired anywhere. Finally got a job at K-mart. They hired me because they just thought I was fat. When the pregnancy became obvious, I was called on the carpet, and they were angry because I "deceived" them. But they couldn't fire me because of new laws. They expected me to lift 50 pound bags of fertilizer and clean litter boxes. I refused and became labeled as a troublemaker.

Who do I blame since I'm a woman and I HAVE to have a job to do things like eat and live indoors?

A lot of people at the bottom comments are saying that women had jobs before feminism. Will this is true there is some issues with this logic. If feminism starts with the suffragettes then before that women had very few jobs available. You could teach or work as a servant. But once you married you could not. You could sew but that payed very little. And with so little women’s colleges it was really hard to become a doctor yet alone get work.

Women of colour have always had to work. Women of Africa have always had to work. Women who were stolen and forced across the Atlantic in ships and onto plantations in the Americas & the Caribbean have always had to work.

...and you are not your dad's/husband's property!

I worked in a credit office for a department store in Cambridge in the mid 70s. If a woman wanted to open a credit account in the store, we would ask her for her husband's info, job, income, etc.

The greatest wealth building tool in the world and something that changed my life from poverty to success in a very short amount of time, despite my incomplete education. Owning property is the single greatest way to claw your way up. THANK YOU FEMINISTS. From the bottom of my heart. Don’t know where I would be without this.

My girlfriend just bought a house! It's been her dream since childhood!

In Spain it was illegal until the 70s for a woman to buy property, own a bank acount or a business without the husbands permision. That was less than 50 years ago in western europe.
