​​​​​​​There were arguments made against women’s suffrage by many people, even by other women. An example of one of these arguments is a paper written by Alice Chittenden.​​​​​​

The main ideas of this paper talk about how women would have more freedom and can impact the world in a greater way without the right to vote. Another main point expressed is that suffragettes believe that the vote will solve all their problems in society, but the vote cannot solve most things and will not make a life changing impact. 

Most men were against women being able to vote and created cartoons to emphasize their points. 

Not all men, however, were against the idea of women’s suffrage. The Men’s Political Union for Women’s Enfranchisement supported women’s suffrage and acted as a helper to the Women’s Social Political Union. ​​​​​​​
