According to the current radical zeitgeist, since these violent acts committed by the women's movement occurred in the late 1800s and the early 1900s, would not current feminism be guilty of all their past wrongs, and reparations, be made? Or, would modern feminism get yet another pass on culpability that all other groups in history do not?

I like that idea. The suffragettes did damage to the tune of millions of British pounds. Let those who celebrate Emmeline Pankhurst as a great heroine of the cause pay it back.

There is a probability that portions of these reparations tasked to individual supporters of terrorist suffragettes end up being another public expense burden.

Yes, the point must be driven home. Concerning the types we are dealing with - it will somehow miss the mark.

Yes, it always does. I like the idea, but the practice wouldn't work.
