So long as you create laws that define women as victims, as creatures that demand protection, that need bodyguards, you are going to perpetuate the very worst of our sexist past.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Women should come forward to protect other woman, as only a woman can understand the problems of another one.
Women in the service put themselves in harms way to protect us and our Nation from threats at home and abroad. The least we can do is ensure they are protected when facing a horrible tragedy.
I declare to you that woman must not depend upon the protection of man, but must be taught to protect herself, and there I take my stand.
Disguise our bondage as we will, 'Tis woman, woman, rules us still.
Give us a chance to show you that those so-called protective laws to aid women - however well intentioned originally - have become in fact restraints, which keep wife, abandoned wife, and widow alike from supporting her family.
I cannot support a measure that chooses to protect some women and not others.
Women are tough campaigners. They certainly know how to withstand attacks. And I think we make a mistake if we say, as some do, that women should play by different rules, or that they are somehow especially vulnerable to the rules of politics. I don't think that's true.
We can't forbid women from going to the beach because of a costume, even if it is rightly seen as neo-fundamentalist, backward, and shocking.
Having bodyguards is just part of being famous, I think.
We women are going to bring change. We are speaking up for girls' rights, but we must not behave like men, like they have done in the past.
