suffragists

So if you want to support suffragists or underground railroads you’re making software that breaks the law.

The terrorism of the suffragettes made public favour move away from the suffragists and delayed any progress at best.

Prohibition was heavily supported by women's suffragists, and was seen as a progressive social reform.

Early women suffragists were equally way out there - even by quite permissive modern standards.

Not to mention before that with women wearing pants as the rebellion, suffragists and others - that was a rebellion against gender.

The suffragists were making wonderful progress with gaining womens rights.

Most anti-suffragists were women, fighting against their best interests.

I also very much doubt your claim that most anti-suffragists were women.

From the plebeians of ancient Rome, through the French revolutionaries and American abolitionists and feminists of the 19th century, to the feminist suffragists[1] of the early 20th century.

Also interestingly, "communism" and "communists" were the pejorative used by reactionaries against civil rights advocates, desegregationists, and women's suffragists.

The opponents of suffrage would refer to suffragists as "suffragettes" (in much the same way Fox News might refer to left-wing politicians as socialists or communists), and would often argue "women are too crazy to vote - just look at the tactics they use!".
