Imitators of Men: Women's Suffrage Predictions
Alex gives Patrick permission to mansplain as they dive into the hilarious hysteria and hopeful hypes of women’s suffrage. In this episode, we're sifting through the outrageous omens of doom foretold by anti-suffragettes—think society crumbling, cats and dogs living together, mass hysteria! On the flip side, we're exploring the bright, optimistic visions painted by suffragettes, where votes for women meant a future filled with peace, prosperity, and perfectly balanced households.
