An old poster arguing against women's suffrage. I'm particularly fascinated by outdated arguments for things we today consider completely beyond dispute - arguments for slavery, child beating, genocide, racism, etc. I feel like I'm doing "argument archaeology" or something.

Love it! What are your thoughts? Climate change denial seems like a natural.

That's a lame one - climate change denial is not a popularly held belief. I suspect it's eating animals - I bet in the future most everybody will be vegan and react with horror to consuming animal products.
