第32章 塞尼卡福尔斯感伤宣言与决议（第2页）

因此，决议认为，既然造物主赋予男女同等的能力和维护这些能力的同等责任感，所以显而易见，男女有着相同的权利和责任，来采取一切公正的手段促进所有正义事业的进行，在道德和宗教这些重大的问题上更是如此。毋庸置疑，妇女有权同她的兄弟一样能够在私下和公开的场合，发表文章和演讲，在任何合法的集会上运用任何合理的手段，开诚布公地宣讲。这是无可争议的真理，它诞生于人类本性的神圣原则中，任何与之相违背的习俗和权威，不论是现代的还是已经磨损发白的古老法则，都将被看作是不容争辩的谬误，是与人类利益相违背的。

决议认为，我们事业成功进程的加快，取决于男人与妇女的执着的热情和努力，推翻教会的独裁，确保让妇女在各行各业享有与男子同样的参与权。
