The gentler sex


It always makes me laugh when people cite the Suffragettes as an example of non-violent direct action.


They literally invented the letter bomb...


When they weren't horse whipping Winston Churchill at railway stations ...


Or blowing up the tube network...


Or bombing Westminster Abbey...


Or committing arson all over the place...


They had their own nitroglycerin factory.


Compared to the Suffragettes XR & Palestine Action are incredibly tame.


The Pankhursts were bad motherfuckers
