In most countries, full universal suffrage – with the inclusion of women – followed universal male suffrage by about ten to twenty years.

Is there any sort of data on how many years transpired between women getting universal suffrage in national/federal elections and men getting the vote on equal terms (that is, without the condition of military service or self-sufficiency) on average?

I only know it was 4-5 years in my country, Sweden; women received unconditional universal suffrage in 1918/19 and men shortly followed in 1923 after one election.

Because feminism right? Feminism could be the only way women got to vote, because that is the main rationalisation for feminism.

If women got the vote without feminism that would basically make feminism a joke in its entirety.

Yeah, because the kind of countries that treat women as second class citizens also tend to treat the lower classes as second class citizens. No-one's disputing that.

I've tried explaining this to some people but they always come back to the point that men had the vote and women didn't. This is despite that there were income and land requirements for those votes which in my opinion means there wasn't universal male suffrage (if being male in itself is not enough to get the vote). But some how that doesn't fly for people who are so willing to condemn their great grandfathers as misogynists.

Side fact: In New Zealand, the difference between equal voting rights of men and women was four years.

In the states adult men and women got universal suffrage at the same time.

Edit: this statement is very much a technicality.

The whole history of feminism can be generalized as men capitulating nearly instantly to women complaining and shaming them. Keep in mind the most important part (from an MRA perspective) which is that women have kept their old privileges while gaining the new rights and priviliges. This makes them what they are now, a princess, entitled class.
