Here, we find that even though Sen. Davis is quoting the dates in terms of using logos, she is also using elements of pathos to appeal to the emotions of the audience. She wants to appeal to the audience’s sense of proportionality by having them think about how difficult it has been for the women to get their rights. By talking about how many times the bill has been chaired and afterwards tabled, she is trying to depict that it is extremely difficult for women to get their rights. By doing so and by providing such logos, she is actually using pathos, which is to appeal to the sense of emotions of the audience. However, it is also important to note that even though Sen. Davis uses this combination of pathos and logos to appeal to the audience, it works to hurt her ethos.

Rogers further includes logos with the statement “by suggesting that gender doesn’t exist and that you are only the sex you were assigned at birth, your argument is that transgender people don’t exist.” (Rogers,par.16). Understanding that gender and sex are not the same, and that they are able to exist at the same time, will enlighten the audience to understand the deserved rights of transgender individuals. Pathos is further included in the article with Rogers expressing that it is important to “honor and respect the rights and dignity of all women, however they identify.”

I believe that took away from the speech's purpose. For example, she used her political party's common talking point, being woman's rights, as a way to bolster her argument. She compared the struggle of women trying to attain equal rights as men, to the struggle of the LGBT. This is a valid comparison; however, the way in which the comparison was presented seemed like a way to inject her party's, and possibly personal, views into the speech. This comparison made the speech feel as if it was given to promote the idea of a specific group trying to gain international recognition of it's ideas, rather than a call to arms in support for a minority group.

For example Anthony says, “but this oligarchy of sex, which makes father, brothers, husband, sons, the oligarchs over the mother and sisters, the wife and daughters, of every household” This is very sad since women and girls should not be ruled or told what to do because they are thought of to be less than man. The constitution is in place to have a unified country not to have an oligarchy of men lead households. The pathos appeal is used to show what suffering women are going through due to men ruling them, and not knowing how to fight back. Susan B. Anthony in her speech also says, “Are women persons?.....and no state has the right to make a law, or to enforce an old law, that shall abridge their privileges and immunities.”, which also connects with the emotions of the audience. She is trying to make people feel bad that women are treated less even though they are just as righteous as men to have the same privileges.
