IF WOMEN WERE HUMAN would we be sexual and reproductive slaves? Would we be bred, work without pay our whole lives, burned when our dowry money wasn’t enough or when men tired of us, sold for sex because we are not valued for anything else?
IF WOMEN WERE HUMAN, Would we have so little voice in public deliberations and in government in the countries where we live? Would we be imprisoned in houses and stoned and shot for refusing? Would we be beaten nearly to death or to death by men with whom we are close? Would we be trafficked as things for sexual use and entertainment worldwide in whatever form current technology makes possible? Would we be raped in genocide to terrorize and eject and destroy our ethnic communities and raped again in that undeclared war that goes on everyday in every country in the world in what is called peacetime?
IF WOMEN WERE HUMAN, Would our violation be enjoyed by our violators? And IF WE WERE HUMAN, when these things happened, would virtually nothing be done about it?
WHEN WILL WOMEN BE HUMAN???WHEN?? (Mackinnon, 2006,p.42)
ps women is power!yeah!
