WHAT’S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE?
"Last November President Bush signed a law to ban late term abortions. Here’s the official photo that was taken of the event. What’s wrong with the picture? Not only are all the signers wearing the same cardboard suit, they’re all guys and lily white at that! Doesn’t it make your blood boil to see a bunch of individuals who will never have to make the difficult decision of whether or not to bring a child into the world are telling us what we can and cannot do? Reminds us of Flo Kennedy’s famous line “If men got pregnant, would abortion be a sacrament?” DOUG Mills, NY Times, Saturday, Nov 8, 2003."
extract from guerrilla girls
very disturbing indeed.
fact is the men of this world dictate and set down the rules in many aspects of a woman's life.
see how the Koran/Quran (sorry if i mispelled it) is until now still wrongly interpreted by men---on parts where a woman has to cover her ENTIRE body, and on a wife being the property of her husband.
I havent got the stats on hand to display here but ive read it in a no. of articles before. It is apalling how men are able to use and maintain their power this patriachal system gives them to continue to exploit and manipulate women just so they can remain in the seat of control.
disgusting, i say.
