Women are not a minority, & we’re not an issue. We’re half of humanity. We are humans. Our issues are human issues, our rights human rights.

/ March 8, 2012Thanks for saying this – it’s a pity that you have to.
dmf
/ March 9, 2012this makes good logical sense but in our country “human” rights probably have less standing than civil rights, all that UNish talk of human rights is too European for our adolescent political sensibilities shielded as we were from the horrors of the world wars.,

/ March 9, 2012Women are humanity. Without them, there are no humans.

/ March 9, 2012ok but there is no necessary relationship between being human and having human rights, human rights are achievements to be created and practiced or not.
dmf
/ March 9, 2012for fridays and choices made by those who have to live with them:
Saying it. Trying
to say it. Not
to answer to
logic, but leaving
our very lives open
to how we have
to hear ourselves
say what we mean.
Not merely to
know, all told,
our far neighbors;
or here, beside
us now, the stranger
we sleep next to.
Not to get it said
and be done, but to
say the feeling, its
present shape, to
let words lend it
dimension: to name
the pain to confirm
how it may be borne:
through what in
ourselves we dream
to give voice to,
to find some word for
how we bear our lives.
Daily, as we are daily
wed, we say the world
is a wedding for which,
as we are constantly
finding, the ceremony
has not yet been found.
What wine? What bread?
What language sung?
We wake, at night, to
imagine, and again wake
at dawn to begin: to let
the intervals speak
for themselves, to
listen to how they
feel, to give pause
to what we’re about:
to relate ourselves,
over and over; in
time beyond time
to speak some measure
of how we hear the music:
today if ever to
say the joy of trying
to say the joy.
“Saying It” by Philip Booth
