Wollstonecraft's Ideas on Sexism

Mary Wollstonecraft is infamous for her publication of A Vindication of the Right of Women, which stands still as a feminist source in the fight against the patriarchal system. In class we talked about many points that she brought up, each one surrounding the main idea and purpose of her work: that every proffession involving subordination is injurious to morality. It is the morals of women that suffer the most when placed on a step below that of a man's.
Sexism is systematic, or structural. Society through education trains women not be rational, not to be virtuous, not to be manly. Women exert power where society allows them, so they reveal "a propensity to tyrannize". Wollstonecraft then compares soldiers to women: they are educated the same, and therefore they are trained inferior. She proves that it is a social system that makes women the way they are, and that they are not naturally subordinate. She also argues that women aggravate this situation by bowing their heads in response rather than doing something about it. There is nothing strong in the feeble manner of women and it is important that women begin to understand that sexism is there only as a tool for men, and holds no substance otherwise. Wollstonecraft believes that women need to seek their true virtue, staying loyal to their love, their voice, and their beliefs, as she does for herself.
