Women's Rights

I do not feel that all people are equal. Therefore I believe that women are weaker than men. Women should obey their husbands and do what they command. Women should not be in control at home because they are too weak. I once said " It is against reason and against nature for women to be mistress in the house... but not for them to govern an empire." Athough I believe women are too weak to control the household, I believe that women can govern an empire. I think this because their calmness and gentleness would be helpful qualities in making decisions in the government.
