If you look at any other group of people suffering injustice, women are always in the worst situation within that group.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't for a moment believe that women have suffered the same kind of injustices that blacks have - women have never been enslaved. But still, many of the psychological and economic problems are the same.
When values disappear, the first people to suffer are women because people start losing their respect for women.
I see women as oppressed, but I don't see them as victims; I see them rising all the time. I see them as very strong.
Women are completely disadvantaged - despite what men will say. It is not a fair fight.
In times of conflict, war, poverty or religious fundamentalism, women and children are the first and most numerous victims. Women need all their courage today.
We are so used to seeing women as victims of war to be pitied rather than survivors of war to be respected.
I don't think that women being seen as inferior is a prejudice based on male hatred of women. When you look at history, it's a prejudice based on simple fact.
Why is a woman to be treated differently? Woman suffrage will succeed, despite this miserable guerilla opposition.
Women are degraded by the propensity to enjoy the present moment, and, at last, despise the freedom which they have not sufficient virtue to struggle to attain.
Now, I have always believed that women are not victims; we are agents of change, we are drivers of progress, we are makers of peace - all we need is a fighting chance.
