HEAR WORD!
It is an absolutely easy task to sit hypocritically on a comfy sofa of ignorance, and spew uninformed comments about the “absurdity of demand for gender equality”.
Until you have experienced directly, heart wrenching realities of battered women or you have tried your feet in the thorny shoes of a victim of normalised abuses… Until you have experienced such wounds that wouldn’t stop bleeding, occasioned by methodical and codified suppression, or injuries of the soul, whose scars remain fresh long after the wound is sealed… Until you have tasted these and many more, do the world a favor, shut up and HEAR WORD!
Systems of oppression are not a figment of somebody’s robust imagination, they are real! They are selectively woven around cultures, traditions, religions and other convenient tools of oppression. The fact that you choose to turn the other way does not invalidate the truth of their existence. Those systems must be shattered and defeated, if we must experience the true meaning of Humanity and Justice.
