The new Klan in Kansas operated a rhetorical machine that displaced hate rhetoric with language aimed at creating the tolerance for what they considered nothing more than natural inequalities: inequalities between blacks and whites as expressed in Jim Crow politics that also bled into Suffrage polices despite their efforts to undermine gender inequality between women and men. For instance, an August 29, 1924, article reminds readers, for instance, that

Nature has ordained that the sexes have no equality . . . As the second in physical strength and mental regularity woman loses in her competition with man in his own field of life activity—usefulness or pleasure, but in her own sphere she is the queen of the earth and no man will deny it.[17]
