It's not cherry-picking when you pick out some others to show why that argument is bogus. Yes, 1928 is better than 1944. But Toby's argument was that "Europe" had a bad record on women's suffrage, and the UK's record was better. As the counter-examples demonstrate, that's nonsense. The UK has a better record than some European countries, and it has a worse record than others.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433144336299288135.post-70941088541753412732018-06-30T10:25:58.056+01:002018-06-30T10:25:58.056+01:00His tweet was completely irrelevant though.

Female suffrage wasn't granted by the EU and at no risk of being taken away. Not even by the present government.

Also 1928 stills sounds better than 44, 46,52 etc. Better not call some one stupid unless you can prove them completely wrong. As things stand this Toby guy was not really wrong, 'europe doesn't have some great history of gender equality' based on the evidence presented here.joshlchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11355161864451878253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433144336299288135.post-28377431896044904832018-06-29T22:17:10.804+01:002018-06-29T22:17:10.804+01:00Also, Portugal was a Fascist dictatorship until 19...Also, Portugal was a Fascist dictatorship until 1974; there was no suffrage, male or female.Pat Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18052759128423681613noreply@blogger.com
