Out of fear that women might interfere with their concerns, men made up the theory that women had no business outside of the home. By doing so, they deprived women of their natural rights. Giving women duties without rights allowed men to live in idleness while condemning women to work. Keeping women at home allowed men to pursue education while women were trapped in ignorance. Isn’t this the greatest of injustices?
He-Yin Zhen, an anarchist and revolutionary during the early 1900s in China. She cofounded the journal Natural Justice with her husband, Liu Shipei, shortly after the couple fled China for Tokyo in 1907. It advocated for equal rights between the genders and an end to the traditional Confucian views on women. The publication went around the community of Chinese exiles, and was also smuggled back to mainland China. (via historical-nonfiction)

But here’s one that’s real: In 1643, white settlers massacred 30 indigenous people in what is now Bowling Green Park, one of the oldest sections of New York City, Indian Country Media Network reported.
Back then, New York City was known as New Amsterdam and was a struggling colonial outpost under Dutch rule.
The then-governor of New Netherlands, Willem Kieft, sent groups of European soldiers to an area at the tip of Manhattan island, which was then home to Lenape tribe.
The soldiers killed 80 members of the tribe in what is now Pavonia, New Jersey, and massacred another 30 in Manhattan. Read more
