I think this picture was extra showing off because of how easy it was for her to put her leg up into the vehicle. The dresses and underclothes of dresses made it really difficult for women to make that big step.
The suffragettes were the OG badasses.
When I noticed my (now 23yo) daughter taking an interest in women’s rights when she was a teen, I told her to read up on the suffragettes. She is now a pre-med student who eloquently debates and fights for women’s rights. So proud.
Marching costume!
Should probably put an NSFW label on this.
I want her shoes so badly
I want that whole look.
That sultry calf is making my loins quiver.
These boots were made for walkin….
“Imagine women having two legs instead of one long tube 🤢”
And then basic instinct came along.
I love this whole look!
Suffragette: “I put my pants on one leg at a time like everyone else”
Others: “How dare!”
She looks so happy! ….and comfortable!
Ok I want this whole outfit!!!
She has that Carmen Sandiego drip
Scandalous!
Okay but her outfit is literally so cool I want her coat so bad
Those are some boss ass boots that’s all I know

“Thanks! They have pockets!”
And then there’s Maude.
The suffragettes while advocating for voting rights within the bourgeois “democratic” system actively were against the majority of working women and their material interests
Did they have pockets?
My mom, born in 1956, got kicked out of more than one school for wearing pants and attempting to try out for football and wrestling teams. Her dad was a super conservative veteran and would laugh at the stories and say something like, “those chickenshits were just afraid to be embarrassed by a girl”
Suffragist. Suffragette is a feminization originally made as a way to mock female activists.
Fun fact: “suffragette“ was actually considered to be an insult (technically still is). it was a term bandied about by mostly men, but also some anti-vote women, to belittle those fighting.
The women who fought for voting rights were called “suffragists.“
I remember hearing that Mary Tyler Moore’s signature capri pants on the Dick Van Dyke show were controversial because almost no women wore pants on TV at the time. They almost lost sponsors over it
…So, cast off the shackles of yesterday!
Shoulder to shoulder into the fray!…
This is always what I think about when people tell me they are Conservatives and miss the “good ol days”
Yeah the good ol days when wearing pants was “scandalous”
The morality of pants. Pants. Literal tubes of fabric. That go on your legs. They said pants are immoral. Once again, just tubes of fabric. Immoral.
How did grown-ass adults say that shit with a straight face?

Colorized from palette.fm. I just happen to scroll past 2 posts, one with colorizer, and other this image.
We laugh at the times when people got upset when women wore pants. And today tons of people get upset when men wear drag.
She’s like “Check out THESE HAMS”
She looks pretty bad ass in that rig
Pretty sure that is Maxwell Klinger
Corporal Klinger lookin’ swag!
Showing her ankles, on top of everything else! A real Jezebel this one.
Scandalous.
But first! Ban alcohol. Ban Alcohol you say? Where will we get tax money? We’ll pass a federal income tax! Brilliant!
Woman can vote, we can drink but the tax remains. And that tax is the biggest lid on freedom we have. It allows Uncle Sam to nose into our everyday life. Imagine a world without federal income tax.
Dude looks like a lady
