DC is now Suffragette City

[Recursion]

I love our Democratic women in Congress

[calimary]

1. So do I! They look GREAT!

Madame Speaker Nancy Pelosi, too!

2. Right? Our women kick ass.

3. No. Suffragist City

Suffragists are people who advocate for enfranchisement. ... In the United States, however, the term suffragette was seen as an offensive term and not embraced by the suffrage movement. Instead, it was wielded by anti-suffragists in their fight to deny women in America the right to vote.

4. Yeah, talk to Mr. Bowie

Come on, now

[DURHAM D]

6. Who is Mr. Bowie?

My Grandmother was a suffragist.

9. Seriously?

David Bowie. Songwriter of "Suffragette City".

[DURHAM D]

12. He needs a history lesson.

I can't believe how many people don't know the history.

5. It kind of bothers me that Senator Kamala Harris is not wearing white like all the other Dem women.

Or is it only the women members of the House of Representatives wearing white?

[DURHAM D]

7. Most of the Senate women are not wearing white.

It is the women of the House.

8. Thank you. I'm only partly watching this thing - I wasn't sure. nt

10. It was a specific invitation from Pelosi to the Democratic women in the House to wear it (nt)
