this isn't a group of women moaning about men
this is about
5% politicians being female
10% QCs being female
10% journalists being female
30% doctors being female
the fact that there are 20+ derogatory sexual terms for a woman, none for a man
that domestic violence accounts for one third of all violent crimes
one in twenty women over the age of 16 have been raped
one in four women will suffer from domestic violence at some point in their life
every week two women are killed by their partner
women own 1% of world property
women earn 10% of world income
depsite the equal pay act a woman in a manual job will recieve 73% of the salary a man would recieve for the same work
depsite the equal pay act a woman in a professional job will recieve 68% of the salary a man would recieve for the same work
it was only in 1991 that it rape within marriage was made illegal
EVERY WOMAN will be a victim of sexual discrimination at some point in her life
this is why
if you do you're easy
if you don't you're frigid
if you try you're desperate
if you leave you're cold
if you stay you're clingy
if you cry you're hormonal
if you shout you're unreasonable
if you work you're boring
if you marry you're co dependent
if you dress like that you're asking for it
this is so we can
say what we want without fear of retaliation
do what we want without fear of criticism
go where we want without fear of violence
when this is what we know
"taught from their infancy that beauty is a womans sceptre, the mind shapes itself to the body, and roaming round it's gilt cage, only seeks to adorn it's prison"
