I hate the fact that no one cares about us woman. All we do during our lives is sit down knitting clothes for our husbands that in a sense own us. The only reason men need us is for reproduccion. Im done with being used and not having rights, we should be equal to men, there is not much between us anyways. So I took matters into my own hands and gathered enough people to protest against the rulers of our country. We did not get much out of it although i know that if we keep trying our word will spread and the government will rethink giving us the rights we deserve.
The next morning 6000 women stormed the streets in search of rights. They were so brave that they put the king under house arrest. Yes, there was deaths, but all for all, they did what was right to get our rights.
Well said women, well written. I enjoy the fact that you are standing up for yourselves and not taking these extenuating circumstances lightly. You are clearly taking advantage of your right to freedom of speech and expression. Always remember that I may not agree with your opinion but I will fight for your right to express it.

Jacobin(Sarah Schumacher): Why should women rise to power? For the men like the Jacobins and the sans-culottes have already done so much to protect the Revolution? Shouldn't important and powerful jobs be left to the men like my brothers of the government and I? We clearly know more about war tactics and have more educational background than you stupid peasant women! Stay in your place, we have you women and non-landowning men in the low-ducts of society for a reason!
