Women speak out

By Lydia Fiser

I don’t have much to say about this other than watch it. Staceyann Chin is truthful and raw and reminds me why free speech is so essential.

I know that about three minutes into this, almost every man will shun away, click out of the blog post, close his laptop, and run. Don’t. Keep watching.

Staceyann teaches women to own their bodies and love themselves for being woman when history reminds of when women were pitied for not being born man.
“Pussy talk” as Staceyann likes to put it, isn’t just for women. Gender roles have evolved, and although the gap between men and women is shrinking, it still exists, and that affects society as a whole. Men are still paid more on average for the same job as women. Women are often expected to stay at home raising children rather than going into the workplace, and men are often looked down on if they choose to stay home with their children.
But the more women own their bodies, own themselves and know that they do not have to be subordinate to men – Know that they are not born a lower class than men – The more women speak this out, without fear, the smaller the gap becomes. And when women demand respect and equality from the world, they make it a more just place for everyone.
