Let women issue a declaration of independence sexually, and absolutely refuse to cohabit with men until they are acknowledged as equals in everything, and the victory would be won in a single week.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I am in favor of carrying out the Declaration of Independence to women as well as men. Women having to suffer the burdens of society and government should have their equal rights in it. They do not receive their rights in full proportion.
The next president of the United States will be the president that will celebrate 100 years of women having the right to vote. I mean, I think having a woman president lead that celebration would be, you know, one of these instances of history really working out right in a poetic and beautiful way.
'But,' say the puling, pusillanimous cowards, 'we shall be subject to a long and bloody war if we declare independence.' On the contrary, I affirm it the only step that can bring the contest to a speedy and happy issue.
The only way to ensure equality for women is to clearly declare it in our Constitution.
Women ought to have representatives, instead of being arbitrarily governed without any direct share allowed them in the deliberations of government.
The battle for women's rights has been largely won.
Women deserve the same permanent rights and explicit protections given men in the Constitution.
Men and women were declared equal one morning and everybody could divorce each other by postcard.
I think we're struggling with trying to redefine various positions at this point in history. To allow freedom for women, freedom for men, freedom from those sharply defined gender roles.
No one will ever win the battle of the sexes; there's too much fraternizing with the enemy.
