Bill of Rights: Who needs it

So, who should have the a bill of human rights? 

In class, we talked read two readings, on was the French bill of rights for man, and the other was the female bill of rights. So when I first read the reading, I thought that there didn't need to be two bills of rights, one for people and one for just females. I thought that that seemed unnecessary because females are people as well. The two bill of rights talked about pretty much the same rights so there was really no need to have two bills. But then in class I learned that when they talked about the rights of all man in the first reading, they were actually talking about men, not all people. So, by saying man, it leaves room for people think what they want. 

So, finally I would say that when writing a bill of rights, you have to be very specific so there is no room for people to think something different. So there either needs to be two bill of rights, one for mean and one for women but the even better option would be for there to only one bill or rights that is clear in including women and men.
