We are at war.
No, I’m not talking about Iraq or Afghanistan. I’m talking about a world war against women and children. Those human beings who walk this earth constantly reminded that they are not free. They are possessions, accessories, appointments, appurtenances, assets, baggage, belongings, chattels, effects, equipment, estate, fixtures, furnishings, furniture, goods, impedimenta, paraphernalia, province, real estate, settlement, tangibles, territory, things, trappings, tricks, wealth.
Even in the United States, where women represent more than 50% of the voting public, we find it difficult to stand up for ourselves and effect change that will make a real difference in our lives as mothers, workers, wives, girlfriends…titles which, in themselves, reinforce ownership.
