There is a video on instagram with 1.2 million views of a man on the phone with a customer service rep, trying to get a refund for a product. When his wife gets wind of what’s happening, she tells him to authorize her to speak on his behalf. Within just a few minutes, she got the refund and a $500 gift card. He stood there staring at her with his mouth agape.

This is what women do. We get it done.

There are several comments under the video, but my favorite comment is this one:

As you can see, this comment went crazy with the likes and replies. I haven’t read all of them, because to me, they don’t matter. What matters, is the irony of the comment.

For centuries, women have been controlled and oppressed by rules — not just in the U.S., but around the world.

The goal of the Women’s Suffrage Movement was to overturn the law that women couldn’t vote. Women like Susan B. Anthony and Sojourner Truth lead movements and gave speeches simply to bring awareness and change around this movement.
