Populāri fragmenti

148. lappuse - I want no prisoners. I wish you to kill and burn; the more you kill and burn the better you will please me.
154. lappuse - He has monopolized nearly all the profitable employments, and from those she is permitted to follow, she receives but a scanty remuneration.
154. lappuse - After depriving her of all rights as a married woman, if single, and the owner of property, he has taxed her to support a government which recognizes her only when her property can be made profitable to it.
154. lappuse - He has made her, morally, an irresponsible being, as she can commit many crimes with impunity, provided they be done in the presence of her husband. In the covenant of marriage, she is compelled to promise obedience to her husband, he becoming, to all intents and purposes, her master — the law giving him power to deprive her of her liberty, and to administer chastisement.
153. lappuse - Having deprived her of this first right of a citizen, the elective franchise, thereby leaving her without representation in the halls of legislation, he has oppressed her on all sides.
155. lappuse - He has created a false public sentiment by giving to the world a different code of morals for men and women, by which moral delinquencies which exclude women from society, are not only tolerated, but deemed of little account in man.
155. lappuse - He has endeavored, in every way that he could, to destroy her confidence in her own powers, to lessen her self-respect, and to make her willing to lead a dependent and abject life.
154. lappuse - He has so framed the laws of divorce, as to what shall be the proper causes, and in case of separation to whom the guardianship of the children shall be given, as to be wholly regardless of the happiness of women — the law in all cases going upon a false supposition of the supremacy of man, and giving all power into his hands.
20. lappuse - rights of women must stand or fall with those of men; derived as they are from the same authority, involved in the same axiom; demonstrated by the same argument.
172. lappuse - For myself, when I feel the hand of power lie heavy on my brow, I care but little to know who oppresses me ; and I am not the more disposed to pass beneath the yoke, because it is held out to me by the arms of a million of men.
