This poem reflects on the 'Anti-Suffrage night' in Aberdeen, where an 'Anti-Suffrage Lecture' was held.  In the paragraph that precedes this poem, we are told that the following poem was found on a crumpled piece of paper at the lecture, presumably written by one of the audience members.  The poem, consisting of five stazas, mocks those who are anti-suffrage: 'the anti' is one who 'sets Motherhood on high' but 'likewise its rightful claims deny'.  The 'antis' views are characterised as 'tommyrot'.
