Which sentence best conveys how Stanton's views on male dominance have been shaped by her experiences as an American woman in the early nineteenth century? She strives for gender equality because her experience tells her that male dominance in society hurts men as well as women. She demands equality in male-dominated professions because experience has taught her that male dominance exists only because women are denied opportunity. She especially wants equality in marriage because most women live in marriages, as opposed to working in professions. She hopes for equality in male-dominated professions because in her youth she saw that another profession, education, relied heavily on female professionals.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton begun with finding her housework mundane and depressing and started sympathizing with other women who had not had any access to power and privilege.

She theorized and reasoned that all assumptions about women being less intelligent and capable could not be true because women haven't had the opportunity to test and show their intelligence and skills. She continued on to advocate for women's rights and laid down the foundations of feminism: liberal feminism, cultural feminism and dominance feminism.
