the topic of equal rights for women? Check all that
apply
But, till men become attentive to the duty of a father, it is
vain to expect women to spend that time in their nursery
which they, "wise in their generation," choose to spend at
their glass; for this exertion of cunning is only an instinct
of nature to enable them to obtain indirectly a little of
that power of which they are unjustly denied a share: for,
if women are not permitted to enjoy legitimate rights,
they will render both men and themselves vicious, to
obtain illicit privileges.
-A Vindication of the Rights of Woman,
Mary Wollstonecraft
Men need to have more children so they have more
practice parenting
Men are not expected to share responsibility in
raising children.
Women engage in vanity because they are denied
equal rights
Women will try to gain power in negative ways
when they do not have rights.
When women do not have rights, they can act in
ways that negatively affect men.
