Read the excerpt from a vindication of the rights of
woman
which statement paraphrases wollstonecraft's argument?
in this style, argue tyrants of every denomination, from the
weak king to the weak father of a family; they are all eager to
crush reason; yet always assert that they usurp its throne
only to be useful. do you not act a similar part, when you
force all women, by denying them civil and political rights, to
remain immured in their families groping in the dark? for
surely, sir, you will not assert, that a duty can be binding
which is not founded on reason?
by refusing women rights, men are enslaving women in
their current roles.
men strive to be kings and fathers because they prefer
leadership roles.
by ignoring women's demands, men are weakening the
family structure.
women are toiling in the dark, unaware of new laws that
are being considered.
