Can we talk about women's right to vote? He was a real advocate

Boydok
That's a deep cut, friend. But I chuckled.
Inkfinger
When your so badass even Teddy Roosevelt won't fuck with you.

She also had her favorite shade of blue named after her. Alice blue. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_blue

"If you can't say something good about someone, sit right here by me." Hah!
LisaFromOZ
Thanks! I couldn’t read that last bit
BryanTenn
The madness returns.
DatesCandyHero
ok
Ilovedadjokes
Alice was the definition of a "girl boss".
InkBandit
Like father, like daughter
canadianreserve
Her dad believed it was white people's responsibility to rule over non-white "savages". She was probably better than he was.
VitaminJay
Be the Alice Roosevelt you want to see in society.
AStrongFemaleCharacter
spagelbagel
I’m picking up some disenchantment vibes form her life
brokentreestump
Chewed gum! The audacity!
usnerd55
She had a long career as a Washington hostess.
AllEvil669
Not even surprised. She sounds like she knows how to throw a good party.
usnerd55
Yep. Her party invitations were always the hottest ticket.
BallsDeepinaDragonscloaca
His daughter was as much of a badass he was!
Sabertron14
And then on the sad end of the spectrum, I remember Rosemary Kennedy.
ThisNameIsNotAboutYou
Well that was a horrible read
dogfavoriter
One of thousands of people ruined by that icepick lobotomy charlatan.
CanadianCobraChicken
The circumstances of her birth certainly didn't help, but the icepick lobotomy destroyed her.
Primary1
I read up on it a bit and from the doctors own notes it sounds like they had no fucking idea what they were doing.
FormerlySable
They didn’t.
bangbangbangbangbangbangbangban
The performing "doctor" cut brain tissue as she was mildly seated asking her questions, they stopped when she was unintelligible. Jesus fuck
bangbangbangbangbangbangbangban
Mildly sedated.
Primary1
Man I just read up on her and that is awful.
clintwestwud
That pisses me off every time I remember it. She went from a normal able bodied person to paralyzed because that evil family
hardlyfatal
Not necessarily normal? There's evidence of mental illness & developmental disability prior to her maiming. But yeah.
clintwestwud
Compared to post lobotomy, yeh I consider her normal. Handicapped? Sure but still just a normal girl.
Primary1
Yeah probably caused by their moron nurse who thought it was a good idea to keep the baby inside the womb and suffocated it
hardlyfatal
Yeah, that's pretty fucked up, eh? Why not just let the kid come out? And imagine the pain of keeping it in? JFC.
motoalchemist
she sounds nice
EuropeanDude
"Rode in cars with men" -Nice
KoRplussomeletters
She seems like a real-life Lady No-Kids.
IGotTheMusicInMe425
Alice Roosevelt was cool before anyone knew what cool was!
Rowsus
The World needs more Alice Roosevelts!
ImpeachTheRump
It does!
SatanicSpirals
Less cigarettes, though, hopefully.
SerenePrincess013
Check out her shade of blue, if you want something really neat.
Weblord
We have them. Alice is not much different from a million other kids whose parents were so busy with their careers, they neglected family.
wipethatfaceoffyourheadbitch
Yes, and they’re mostly douchebags.
ILikeBlondDudesAndICanNotLieButGingersWillDoJustFine
Yes!!!! How is everyone missing the fact that she's probably acting like this bc of her family? TR even says it himself!
becauseurwrong
There's tons, especially growing up, and if society doesn't wear them down to be more quiet and ladylike, they do wonders
TheWeebleWobler
She sounds like a lot of fun.
Alsehr
That dog Leo sure knows a lot of tricks, but she should stop smoking.
MisterRichard
Her dad rarely called her Alice, because that had been her mother's name. And yeah, she was interesting as all get out
SoiledFool
What did he call her then?
Queenbeeknocksmeonmyknees
Sister also. Like she had brothers and they and the rest of her family including dad called her sister.
MisterRichard
Baby Lee. She went by Mrs. L later in life, by choice.
SoiledFool
Thank you!
ssh0le
Boy.

It's gonna be kind of weird walking through a village in Ragnarok and not be able to kill the citizens.
PrepareAMotherfuckerForThisShit
Not with that attitude
colt64
Emily Spinach
opponme
Yeah, kinda fucked up. He basically abandoned her with her aunt for the first few years of her life
merdock379
Is it fucked up? Are you familiar with their lives and the norms of the time? What made it fucked up?
MisterRichard
That would have been considered appropriate at the time.
austinwizardforhire
He lost both his mother and first wife on the same day, in the same house. Not saying what he did was right, but I can understand how...
austinwizardforhire
...as a brand new father, he might have thought that she would be better off with his sister. It's very possible he was doing what he...
austinwizardforhire
...thought was best for his daughter.
aintnothinbutahounddog28
You're right. Single men did not take care of babies alone at the time. A close female relative is needed
SpiteLip
Of course, the badass President that had a bear on the White House lawn had a rad ass daughter!
gwhh
TR also carried a gun in his belt in the White House a lot.
SithElephant
Now I'm imagining soft sax music.
hotrodny
What does an ass daughter look like?
wipethatfaceoffyourheadbitch
Honestly she sounds like my sister and she’s a fuckin train wreck. Pretty much only good for partying with. Reliably unreliable.
asmallcat
Try being a woman in 1902 and see how it goes.
wipethatfaceoffyourheadbitch
I would love to have a doctor prescribe me a vibrator for my hysteria.
DrPepper523
First thing it says about her, unconventional&her shaky marriage to Rep Nick Longworth III & only daughter from affair w Sen.William Borah.
Lampmonster
Got shot in the chest and still gave a speech. Created the Parks department. Banned boxing in the Whitehouse after almost being blinded.
YouGoHugo
Did Roosevelt create Starlord then? Parks dept. - parks and recreation - Chris Pratt rise in popularitet - get casted as Starlord
Flamboyatron
Starlord was a character in the comics well before Pratt was even considered to be casted in the movies. So, no.
YouGoHugo
I knooooow. Tried to be funny with a long chain of event. Tough crowd.
Flamboyatron
Hey man, you tried. At least you made the effort. Sorry I downvoted you. I'll reverse it.
becauseurwrong
No

Username checks out
somerandomentity5772
Clarification: Banned boxing matches that he himself started up at the WH
Lampmonster
I had to be concise, I hoped the blinding indicated he was a participant.
HamOnWholeWheat
Chewed gum? Seriously?
trigonman3
Someone had to fight for your right to chew gum. And that someone was this lady.
MrMaRzZ
Weren't people on here talking shit about Roosevelt a few months ago?
OhNoDontTouch
With anywhere from 100-300 million users logging in each month, there's bound to be some inconsistent opinions.
MrMaRzZ
Performative activism
OhNoDontTouch
this is just an image sharing site, so of course there's no ???? activism
MrMaRzZ
I meant what she was doing
