Stanton is the ideal that women can achieve a position of equality with men both in church and in society. Her goal is motivated by the concern in seeing that community, church and theology has always been owned by men.

Further according to Stanton, women should wear his wits and not blindly accept the Bible verses that undermine its role as a woman. For example, in 1 Tim 2:14 mention of Eve being deceived, fell into dosa.Stanton encourage women to take part in theological education and leadership role in church and society.
