The struggle for the aim of the liberation of women is the child of fire born on the lap of our liberation movement.
Women's liberation is the liberation of the feminine in the man and the masculine in the woman.
The liberation of the earth, the liberation of women, the liberation of all humanity is the next step of freedom we need to work for, and it's the next step of peace that we need to create.
Women have always struggled with their men-folk for the abolition of slavery, the liberation of countries from colonialism, the dismantling of apartheid and the attainment of peace. It is now the turn of men to join women in their struggle for equality.

Any attempt to treat people as semihumans only dehumanizes them.
