這10張老式海報揭示了人們對賦予婦女投票權(quán)的恐懼
Times are a-changing and nowadays it is easy to take our ability to vote for granted. However, it's really not that long ago since our grandmothers and great-grandmothers had to go through some serious abuse to win that right. Just a century ago, suffrage was a highly divisive and controversial issue in Western society.
時代在變化,現(xiàn)在很容易認為我們投票的能力是理所當然的。然而,就在不久以前,我們的祖母和曾祖母還得經(jīng)歷一些嚴重的虐待才能獲得這種權(quán)利。一個世紀以前,選舉權(quán)在西方社會是一個高度分裂和有爭議的問題。
It's always scary to challenge the status quo and these postcards from the early 20th century are a perfect illustration of that. In them, you can see the frustration of men and women alike, who were afraid of change and thought that granting women the right to vote will somehow ruin the world and the progress that was made. Sadly, these mocking images still look vaguely familiar even in today's context where feminists (sometimes even referred to as feminazis) are depicted as irrational, neurotic and even abusive. Scroll down below to see the full list of illustrations and don't forget to vote for the ones you like (erm, hate?) the most.
挑戰(zhàn)現(xiàn)狀總是令人害怕的,這些20世紀早期的明信片就是一個很好的例子。在他們身上,你可以看到男人和女人一樣的沮喪,他們害怕改變,認為賦予婦女投票權(quán)將在某種程度上破壞世界和取得的進步??杀氖?,即使在今天這樣一個女權(quán)主義者(有時甚至被稱為女權(quán)主義者)被描述為不理性、神經(jīng)質(zhì)甚至虐待的環(huán)境中,這些嘲諷的形象看起來仍然模糊而熟悉。向下滾動查看完整的插圖列表,不要忘記給你最喜歡的(呃,最討厭的?)投票。
