One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman.
The truth is that we are all human beings. Change your life, change your world. Freedom is the source of all happiness. I am not a woman, I am a human being. It is not enough to be free; one must be free to choose. We must not think of ourselves as victims. One's life has value so long as one attributes value to the life of others. To catch a husband is an art; to hold him is a job. The most potent weapon of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed. |
