Option 2 : Aristotle and Hegel

Aristotle and Hegel did not believe in women's equality. 

  •  Aristotle in his book Politics, "The relation of male to female is by nature a relation of superior to inferior and ruler to ruled."
  • Aristotle felt that the husband should exercise political control over the wife and that women should be subordinate to men.
  • He believed that women differed from men in a number of ways including being more impulsive, empathetic, whiny, and deceitful. 
  • Hegel's account of the woman's role as guardian of the sacred claims of the family in the Phenomenology of Spirit.
  • According to this interpretation of Hegel, women are by nature destined to play the passive role of embodiment and upholder of family values.

Thus, Aristotle and Hegel did not believe in women's equality.
