Because the Declaration of Independence is such a well-known and sacred piece, its comment about Jefferson's job discrimination sparks support and outrage. Surprisingly, both men and women agreed with his point of view, but many women criticized his bold ideas. Unlike Cady Stanton, who is highly educated, some women felt satisfied with their lives and were deeply resistant to change. These females assumed that they were unable to perform at the same level as males. According to Stanton, “He denied her the rights which are afforded to the most ignorant and degraded men” (273). Stanton believes it is unfair that even the most mundane men have rights, but women do not. All women whether educated or not deserve the same rights as men. Overall, Stanton's use of parody does a great job of delivering his views on the vitality of gender equality. Stanton delves into Jefferson's Declaration of Independence, but unlike Jefferson, discusses the flaws of gender inequality. For example, she states: “He made her, if married, according to the law, civilly dead. He has taken away all her property rights, even the wages she earns” (273). Although Jefferson states in his declaration that all people have natural rights, the general population did not associate his plans for women. Stanton comments on how women's basic rights are not respected because they are not allowed ownership of property or wages. In a way, Stanton not only describes his views on gender inequality, but also conveys his anguish towards it
