about society
Feminism. Women's rights. Women's emancipation. Europe and North America might have still achieved this, but there are many places in the world where women's basic rights are trampled upon. |

I thank God everyday for the freedom I have to express myself and not fear punishment for that. My mother was a feminist in her own way and I suppose you could say I am as well. I agree with you that mothers have a responsibility to teach their sons it is not okay to treat women badly and also to teach their daugthers it is not okay to accept that behavior from men. When that does not happen, a great injustice has been done to those children and to the world. My views have caused a good deal of strife in my life but so be it, I will continue to speak my mind, demand the respect that I deserve. If those people around me cannot accept that, then my answer to them is to be gone. Thanks for writing this. |
