Multimedia Review One

I decided to do my first critical review on the women suffragist movement. The video is called Equality but is quite humorous and bias towards men's rights. The video states that "any attempt of man to gain power is (perceived through woman's eyes) at the expensive of women." Can one group's quest for voting rights lead to another groups voting right demise?

In the video, it clearly states that anyone that (in England) could vote as long as they owned land, not based off of race or sex. But women believed that they should get the right to vote even though they didn't own land. There wasn't a property less MAN quest for voting rights so they got left out of the original voting amendment. The narrator can't remember when growing up in school that he was taught about Man's inability to vote, only woman's fight for vote. I am not a anti-feminist person but I agree with the narrator, sometimes when you focus on just one certain topic you tend to miss the big picture. If we just gave everyone the right to vote we wouldn't have had to deal with two huge movements (Civil Rights and Feminist) at two separate times. In a few years we will have an illegal Mexican Rights act and they also will want the right to vote. So its a perpetual cycle that seems to never end. Give the vote to all or let no one vote. That simple.
