Question

suffrage n.投票；选举权；参政权 (1) 投票人都投票选他。(2) 他们剥夺了成千上万选民的选举权。(3) 妇女参政的问题使他们发生争执。 Female supporters of women's suffrage in 1906 were called suffragettes, because the French suffix –ette was trendy back then. But nowadays words with -ette are shunned because they imply the inferiority of women. So it seems that female supporters of a woman's right to vote were referred to by a sexist term.
