    Women got the right to vote through non-violence. This is completely untrue that nonviolence has done nothing. If the numbers get big enough, the government will begin to be afraid of us, again. The billionaires might be afraid again if we show up in the millions to their front door.

      Ugh, look up the suffragettes - their was 100% violence

      Imma leave this here from Wikipedia

      Suffragette violence refers to the militant actions taken by members of the Women’s Social and Political Union (WSPU) in the early 20th century, including bombings and arson, aimed at gaining women’s suffrage in the UK. This campaign, which lasted from 1912 to 1914, resulted in casualties and was viewed by many as a form of terrorism, ultimately leading to a complex legacy regarding the suffrage movement’s effectiveness and public perception

      This led directly to the US women’s right to vote movement
