Question

Why does Stanton list a “long history of injuries and usurpations on the part of man toward woman” in her Declaration of Sentiments? select all that apply

Answer 1

To support her argument that women have a lesser status than men

Answer 2

Starton made this list to show how, historically, women have suffered for the selfishness of men.

With this list, Starton wants to demonstrate through historical aspects the evolution of gender violence, outlining the way in which the woman was viewed socially under a patriarchal bias. In addition, it seeks to highlight the longevity of the oppression suffered by women over the years, in which it was seen as natural and legitimized through a social standard imposed through the family and conjugal bosom by patriarchalism.
