Question

Why does the Seneca Falls Declaration object to “a different code of morals for men and women”? because it’s the behavior itself, not the gender of the person, that makes an act moral or immoral because women are more moral and purer than men because women are much more restricted in their activities than men.

Answer 1

because it’s the behavior itself, not the gender of the person, that makes an act moral or immoral

Answer 2

1. Because it’s the behavior itself, not the gender of the person, that makes an act moral or immoral

Women in the Seneca Falls Convention (1848) did not attempt to show that women were superior to men, but to advocate for the same religious, civil and political rights of women that men already had. In the event, aimed to demonstrate that men and women were created equal and therefore a different code of morals for both, such as the prohibition of women's right to vote, was merely unjust as all person should be judged by their actions and not their gender.
