We're so much better off today than yesterday. Yesterday we were property, bartered and traded. Yesterday we were beaten to death, we were bred like cattle. Today they've granted us our humanity. Could we ask for more?
We're so much better off today than yesterday. We can seek out torturers and butchers to rid us of the rape's seed. Crippled for life is still alive. Could we ask for more?
We're so much better off today than yesterday. Yesterday we were denied cesareans because they were birth control. Today is a much better day. How could we ask for more when others have endured so much?
Today we have the right to influence our husband's vote.
Today we have the right to work outside the home.
Today we have the right to equal pay, though no one pays attention. Today we can vote for ourselves and are allowed ownership. What is it we would ever want? Why are we not grateful for progress? For modernity? Our rights so graciously granted?
Today they drug us and violate us without consent. Today they abuse us and call it care. Today they hire men simply for their lack of a life-giving belly. Today they dismiss us as unstable because we're as human as they. Today they let us fight, and rape us for the fun of it; cast aside as insane for speaking the truth.
But why should we ask for more? We're liberated. So shut the fuck up.
