You are implying every woman in America was behind the movement 20 years before this. Her argument is that this really got them motivated seeing former property have rights they didn't. But because she is technically wrong there must be no merit in her argument right?
That doesn't even make sense. She's not technically wrong, she's just wrong.
That is, her statement is incorrect. There's nothing technical about it. It's just plain wrong.
If she'd like to move the goal posts and present a different argument, that's fine. But, this one is just wrong.
A movement takes roots with many because of action. Seeing your human dishwasher and cotton picker get a vote in society while you don't would spur many to join. It is a valid argument that it probably began being a legitimate movement instead of a joke for many.
Look, it's not my fault she said something wrong. What I've done is present the timeline that shows she's incorrect.
Anything beyond that is immaterial. You seem to think I'm implying stuff. I'm only implying (actually I'm straight up saying it) that she's wrong. That's not when the movement started. That's not the cause of the movement. History doesn't work that way - it goes in order.
The start of the feminist movement had absolutely nothing to do with the slaves having been freed. That wouldn't happen for about 20 more years.
Don't blame me. I neither said what she said nor did I go back and change the order of history around. I just think that maybe people should know the facts. Those are the facts. You don't have to like them, but you're not entitled to change them. Words have meanings. If she said meant something else, she should have said something else.
