Thomas Paine's "Common Sense"

          In this "pamphlet" written by Thomas Paine, He states that America needs to break away from the "mother country" England. He states that England is not a mother country at all, and even if one thinks that it is, it is a bad mother. He states that there should not be a king over America, but is careful not to just target the current king of England. As that would just cause the people to desire a new king.
          I do believe that there should not be a king over America, and agree with what Thomas Paine was saying, however, he certainly attacked this idea in a way that I do not support after reading the article. He attacks the people who he knows will disagree with him, and even makes several extremely sexist comments, degrading women down to next to nothing. He tries to get his point across by writing this to be short and even like a sermon, however, I have never heard of a sermon that simply insults the oppositions it faces.
          Why did he use such insults and sexist biased in an article meant to persuade people?
