Week 4

Declaration of Sentiments and Resolutions was a great thing to read. It made so many great points about women and their right to be treated equal. The first thing that stood out to me was actually the quote that Callie used in her blog. I have to disagree with Kacy when she says she hears people still to this day making comments about women belonging in the kitchen. I'm not sure if that has to do with us coming from different areas. When I do hear it its in a joking manner. One of my favorite lines from this was "that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness". Our Creator gave us certain rights when he created us, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. When women were held below men they were being deprived these rights that were given to us when we were created. We weren't created to be have one gender better than the other, we were created to be equal.
