It was not them who decided whether the women would pull short or long in the United Voting, not the men in the United Voting, but the male-dominated American Society! The women who wondered what the hell is this, took that decision in their own hands and this is how it is!

Around 1920, in the United States of America, women were not allowed to wear clothes that were more revealing than their body. That was the rule of the male dominated society at that time. In short, even when a woman was bathing and swimming, they did not allow her to choose a comfortable dress.
It is said that there were those days at every beach to see if women's bathing suits exposed their thighs. There was a rule that the length of the dress a woman wears while bathing should not be less than one mechichar.
If in any way she sewed her dress shorter than the prescribed size, the police could have taken her to court and fined her. Or put him in jail.
In the 1921 United States referendum, the state of Hawaii enacted a law saying that no one over the age of 14 could appear in a bathing suit unless it "covered at least the knees." A towel or raincoat should be wrapped around the waist
But at that time, Annette Kellerman, a very popular star of United Voters, was the first woman to stand up against this law.
She has been seen in public at beaches wearing dresses that are shorter than the society's norm. Also, using her power, she started publishing them in the print media and showing them to the entire American society. Because of this, the United Election Police arrested her and brought her to court, she said in open court
''Society has no right to tell me how to wear my clothes. Where did they have the courage to say such a thing?
But the court did not ask
"They can pay the fine and go out."

The mouth she took
"No, I don't agree with this decision, so I will go to jail."
She refused to pay the fine imposed by the court in 1921 and chose prison. After being released from prison, she went to the beaches
He went to the village and appealed to the women that if the police come to measure the women's legs, hold them and beat them. Also, she sewed a very short thigh-high bathing suit and presented it to the American Women's Association. Not only was it very popular, but the women who dragged it to bathe poured into the courts from all the coasts, the complaints of the policemen who assaulted the women.
The situation quickly turned into a fight between the police and the United Suffragettes, and the Washington Post headlined, ``Inhumane police will stop this brutality''.
Ultimately, the woman's bathing suit created a civil war in the United States.As a result, the swimsuit scandal erupted in the early 1930s. He got official permission to choose a dress of his choice.
