In others’ words
Are women human yet? If women were human, would we be a cash crop
shipped from Thailand in containers into New York’s brothels…?
Would our genitals be sliced out to “cleanse” us…?
When will women be human? When?
- Catherine A. MacKinnon, Are Women Human?

People who live on purpose with purpose are not interested in standing out in the crowd. That may happen, but it is not why they do what they do.
