This Is What Justice Looks Like

It is time now…

By: Anonymous

Freedom from fear of violence, controlling relationships in any context and unwanted sex with men, just because we are female. It is our right to consent, to live our lives without fear of force, and to be proud of being women, NOT constantly having to make excuses for things we dont want or do want, but just because we have a right to live our lives freely, spontaneously and proudly and enjoy our sexuality. It is there for us to enjoy when we want to enjoy it not when others necessarily decide we have a duty to. We are not all crazy, hormonally aggressive or ‘asking for it’ , when we voice an opinion or get upset because of something unpleasant being done to us. If we are angry, it might just be because someone has done something to make us so??!!! Why is it that when women protest, it is often translated into one of these things, like it is our fault somehow, to react. It is not, it is because we are sentient beings who understand the differences between right and wrong and putting up with this any longer is pointless. It can change, if we take action to change it. Nothing important or life changing was ever easily won but as my mother who was beaten by my father used to say,” better to light one candle than to curse the darkness” and I want to dance together for change for her and for me and for women the world over and generations past present and those to come. It is time now…
