Callie used some quotes from the Declaration of Sentiments which she interpreted to mean that women should not accept their old position in society. She said that the history of women's rights in the U.S has been a struggle and that she does not agree with the stereotype that women should stay home with the children and cook and clean.
Kristen agreed with Callie and said that even though women may have equal rights legally; they are still looked down upon on a daily basis. She related this to last weeks reading about equality within different races. Kristen enjoyed reading the Declaration of Sentiments because she said it described all that women deserve as equal citizens.
Adam enjoyed this reading as well and thought it made some great points. His favorite quote was: "that they are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness". He said that when women were considered to be below men they were deprived of these given rights.
