1. Throughout much of the nineteenth century, a husband, father, or other male authority figure could—and did—have a woman declared insane as easily as getting two doctors to sign the certificate, and they didn’t even have to see the patient. A man’s testimony was enough to get a female relative locked up in secret indefinitely. Some women suffered from “puerperal insanity,” or post partem depression and other mental illnesses, but others were imprisoned in an asylum for no greater cause than disagreement with established norms (such as declaring women should get the vote), a medical condition like epilepsy, the ever popular hysteria, or infidelity.
2. Married women prior to 1870 had no control over their own property, wages, money, inheritance, etc. Even a valuable gift became her husband’s property, and she had no legal recourse if he abused “their” assets. Women couldn’t buy or sell any property or business of any kind in their own name. From a legal standpoint, a woman owned nothing, not even the clothes on her back. Any dowries paid to the husband by his bride’s relatives could be specified for her own use by a prenuptial contract if the fiancé agreed. Until the passage of the Married Women’s Property Act in 1870 and 1884 in Britain established a wife’s rights in law, the only way to avoid being impoverished by an errant or corrupt spouse was to remain single.
3. Until 1925 in Britain, in the case of someone dying intestate (without a will), a female heir could not inherit any “real” property, like valuable land, as long as there was a male heir. Instead, the law limited such women to personal property like jewelry, furniture or clothing. If the property was entailed—that is, legally bound in a specific way—then only a male heir could inherit, even if that heir was a very distant relative of the deceased.
4. Early in the nineteenth century, divorce in England could be obtained only by an Act of Parliament. Later, a man could divorce his wife on the grounds of infidelity.
5. Well into the twentieth century, women were disregarded to the extent that legally speaking, they were non-persons. A woman couldn’t a open bank account in her own name, purchase any form of birth control, vote, sue someone in court, sign contracts, or make her own medical decisions. She wasn’t supposed to have sexual contact with a man other than her husband (rape was seen as the woman’s fault). Educational opportunities were minimal, even for the upper class. Women were supposed to take care of the household, bear children, obey social restrictions, and do very little else. Physical activity was frowned upon. For example, some physicians publicly spoke out against the dangers of the pernicious bicycle, which they feared might cause women to become “oversexed” because they straddled the saddle.
6. Unsurprisingly, nineteenth century men used a variety of rationales to deny women the vote. Anti-suffragette propaganda was denigrating, to say the least. Among the arguments used were that women weren’t interested in politics, men were mentally better suited to understanding the complexities of political issues, women were emotionally unstable, a woman’s place was in the home, participation in public activities like voting went against feminine modesty, etc. When suffragettes went on hunger strikes after being arrested, they were strapped down and force fed on the order of the authorities. This may sound like a simple medical procedure, but it was a horrific violation and a
7. In the latter party of the nineteenth century, a series of articles in a British newspaper shocked Victorian society to the core. An investigative journalist discovered how easy and cheap it was to buy a female child for sexual purposes—₤5 was the going rate. It seemed wealthy male purchasers delighted in deflowering young virgins and would pay for the privilege. Brothel keepers in major cities bought adolescent girls as young as twelve or thirteen years old from impoverished families and put them to work, which usually began a life of sexual degradation and slavery. Corrupt police and clergymen looked the other way until W. T. Stead broke the story, calling it the Maiden Tribute of a Modern Babylon.

Women suffered so much down the centuries.
Things are so much more better, women PM's, Barristers, Authors, Doctors, Dentist etc.
Can you believe then in Iran, Afghanistan and many Muslim countries, women are still being treated as if they are just nothing. Young girls, men want it to be 9 now, married off to old men, paedos really, no women teachers anymore, doctors and so on. They are in the middle ages and for them it will never get any better.
No one reports much on this abuse of women there, only women who have spoken out and shut up for it.

Here's a list of reasons for admissions to the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum in the US
Fits? Husband ill treats you, so it's your fault.?
Asthma? Desertion by husband? Laziness?
This gets worse.😪
Women had no rights and no chance in those days. It really was a mans world 😞

So husband can give you an STD, then bugger off with his disease ridden fancy piece, and if the wife dared to get upset, complain, or seek treatment, it would be her who was carted off to the nearest loony bin.

And now the rights of women, rights that have been hard fought for over the generations, are being eroded in different ways.
"One of the founders of the world’s oldest breastfeeding support charity has quit in protest at its inclusion of transgender women.
Marian Tompson denounced La Leche League International as an ‘organisation that has become a travesty of my original intent’.
In a damning resignation letter from the board of directors, the 94-year-old condemned the group’s shift from focusing on mothering to ‘indulging the fantasies of adults’.
She wrote...‘This shift from following the norms of nature, which is the core of mothering through breastfeeding, to indulging the fantasies of adults, is destroying our organisation.’"

I read about this. I back her 100%, but such a shame she had to quit because of this ridiculous trans leftie policies. Taking breastfeeding from women. How can men breastfeed? Another woman thing being eroded!

You can pump a man full of enough hormones to make him lactate.
You'd be a damn fool to give that "milk" to a baby.
May as well feed them Coca-Cola..

There was a case in the papers not long ago. Pics of a transgender 'woman' breastfeeding the baby. She said it was a dream come true, at last she felt fulfilled.
The fact that she was feeding the baby artificial drug filled liquid didn't matter ...SHE felt fulfilled.

Completely agree.
The problem with the world at the moment is this the more the world is changing the more it stays the same. Life is full of big surprises, it’s a never-ending game. nothing is impossible if you believe your eyes. when the unexpected brings a smile that’s the big surprise!
surprise surprise! the unexpected hits you between the eyes! the unpredictable that’s the surprise you see - surprise surprise
while I’m afraid that’s all we’ve got time for this evening, ladies and gentlemen. But I’d just like to thank our Gordon and Bob Carolgees for the great show.
