In line 9, Abigail Adams describes men as "naturally tyrannic." She uses the word naturally to show that men are not evil or selfish by nature, but rather they are given to tyranny because of their lack of knowledge about God and his laws. Men tend to be more aggressive and less likely to commit acts of violence than women, but this doesn't make them bad or evil. It's just how men are designed by God. Women have a different design too—one that includes strong mental and physical abilities—but since most men don't get to see this side of womanhood, they assume that all women are capable only of being wise beyond what they themselves can understand. This is why it's important for women to be educated; if men learned that women were also natural leaders with strong wills, they would never expect them to obey them blindly without question. Education also gives women an opportunity to demonstrate their talents and abilities which may surprise men who think that only certain types of jobs require strength, courage, and other masculine traits. Women have a unique role to play in society and deserve equal treatment under the law, but this will never happen until there are more women in positions of authority.
