APUSH Colors of the Wind

AP video on women's rights. Sorry about the sound at some parts. Lyrics are below-

You think I'm an ignorant female
For my innocence my place in
Society is low
And still I cannot see
If the stupid one is me
How can there be so much that you don't know?
You don't know.....

You think the man is greater than the woman
That may be true in some things, such as weight
But I know intelligence is for either
Male or not, a human's knowledge can equate

You think the only people who are people
Are the people who look and think like you
But if you walk the footsteps of a woman
You'll learn that the silly notion isn't true.

Have you listened to Liz Stanton at Seneca Falls?
Or understood what Anthony means?
Did you comment on the strong voice of Alice Paul?
Women can do so much more than merely clean
Women can do so much more than merely clean

The cult of domesticity is your rule
By separate spheres I'm under lock and key
I'd rather have republican motherhood
And my life and my choices up to me.

The women have gi'en you so much already
See Dix's asylums, Lucretia's schools
Our integrity is there, why can't you see
Each time you stop a woman you're a fool

How can we help our country?
If you stop us now, you will never see
Oh just simply grant us vote inside the Congress now
Please pass Amendment number Ni-neteen
We need to prove our worth with things other than sewing
Women can do so much more than merely clean

You can object but we can
We can match up any man
Women can do so much more than just clean
