woman
To live as a third-world woman would be hell on earth.
Your husband murders your baby because she is female.
Your genitals are mutilated during puberty in ritual.
You must cover yourself.
You are nothing.
Yet we still fight to survive.
Women are the Goddesses of the Earth.
(We paint their faces and make them dance.)

Women have always walked five pace behind a man: but this is changing. Good read, callmemamac.

Wow, rings so true. Sadly, I've deployed to places where this is true. Yes, this dominant is a feminist also. Nicely done!
