Women were the last demographic to be able to vote. But so what?

I've just got in a huge argument with a couple of girls on my course about women being the last group to receive the right to vote. They were having a dig at me (I'm black they are both white) after I gave them a lengthy argument on why black people are the most oppressed demographic then they were like 'actually no that's women, black men could vote before we could'.


But how is that even true. White women were more protected and advantaged in soceity more so than black men even if they couldn't vote because the white male privilege extended to white women.


Plus more than likely women would vote for the same person their husbands voted for so them getting their own right to vote is pointless.

Even if their 'argument' is true the fact remains that black women or women of colour are the least oppressed demographics and white women don't factor into that.

Oh, I say, old chap! We said we wouldn't say that sort of thing in front of the fairer sex.

We all agreed that we'd only give these silly girly sorts the chance to play at voting providing we never let on we know they can't work out who to vote for. Obviously the little pretties only vote for whoever we tell them to, but it is frightfully important we don't let on to them that they're all like that. Otherwise they might start filling their pretty little heads with politics, and then they'll go all strange and faint or something, and then we'd have to make our own dinner.

So, keep Mum about the ladies being too silly to vote, eh?

Now then, chums, can one of you good chaps remind me what time is tonight's misogyny meeting? The wife's taken the social diary out shopping with her, the silly thing. Women, eh? Can't live with 'em, can't wear clean ironed clothes without 'em.

And this is why social justice is becoming a mockery of itself. "I'm more oppressed!" "No, me!" "No, me, me!"

What bugs me most about this insane contest for sympathy and who can fit the biggest chip on their shoulder is how it just groups everyone together so quickly. "I'm historically more oppressed" says the middle class white girl in her Oxford dorm room, sipping on a $5 latte and typing away on her MacBook Air. "No, I am!" says the European black guy who's never been arrested in his whole life and never will be, as he walks past a homeless white dude on his way to class in his designer sneakers.

Meanwhile there are people in North Korea, the Middle East and China scratching their heads at your use of the word 'oppressed.'

Black people are still oppressed in the US though. You only had to see that video the other day of that girl dragged across the classroom by a cop with a history of racism. The looks on the other children's faces says it all.
