Historically, men have not treated women equally. They have held more power in jobs. They are able to vote. They rule their family. But both men and women are created equally, so they should be treated equally as well. This declaration lists all of the grievances that men have pushed on women. The format of this declaration is very similar, along with the diction, to that of the Declaration of Independence. For example they begin with "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men and women are created equal..." and it also continues with a list of grievances similar to how the colonists had a list of grievances towards Britain. It ends with a resolution, with women asking for equal rights to men. It sums it up saying that women were born equal to men, and God created them just the same, therefore women should not be subordinate to men.
