Read the excerpt from A Vindication of the Rights of Woman.

In this style, argue tyrants of every denomination, from the weak king to the weak father of a family; they are all eager to crush reason; yet always assert that they usurp its throne only to be useful. Do you not act a similar part, when you force all women, by denying them civil and political rights, to remain immured in their families groping in the dark? For surely, Sir, you will not assert, that a duty can be binding which is not founded on reason?

Which statement paraphrases Wollstonecraft's argument?

A. By refusing women rights, men are enslaving women in their current roles.

B. Men strive to be kings and fathers because they prefer leadership roles.

C. By ignoring women's demands, men are weakening the family structure.

D. Women are toiling in the dark, unaware of new laws that are being considered.
