TL;DR - Of Women & Ponies HD

MINOR CORRECTION: Around 6:50 should say "children under the age of 8 could not be employed" not "over" because obviously. Women are working (in fewer numbers) in the same terrible conditions as men? OPPRESSION! MISOGYNY! Women are replaced so the dangerous work in terrible conditions is only done by men and horses? OPPRESSION! MISOGYNY!
