I don't want women and their families to be left out and left behind. We can fight for them. We will fight for them. They deserve better and I want to give them better.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't want my children to have any kind of ego or entitlement because of what I do. I want them to be good people, and we fight every day so that they'll be that way.
As a woman standing up here, we have to fight for the rights of women.
Nobody is going to take my kids away from me and I will fight to the death for that.
If these men decided that they have to go in there and fight, I want them to send their own children and grandchildren. I want them to not send a bunch of strangers' kids in there to fight and die.
I hate wars and violence but if they come then I don't see why we women should just wave our men a proud goodbye and then knit them balaclavas.
After the threat of war is gone, we should not turn our backs on the men and women who eliminated that threat. We should embrace them and keep our promises we made to them.
All I want is to let women know that I will be there to support and encourage them when they set out to do something.
I know that it isn't just violence against women, it's how do we support ourselves and our families, how do we deal with health care for ourselves and our families? It's a bigger picture.
We have to stop this violence. We have to make the political nature of the violence clear, that the violence we experience in our own homes is not a personal family matter, it's a public and political problem. It's a way that women are kept in line, kept in our places.
I am not telling men to step away from speaking for women's rights; rather, I am focusing on women to be independent to fight for themselves.
