All women should be free to be themselves, to have their basic human and civil rights, whether they are cisgender, transgender, or noncomforming or fluid; whether they are asexual, heterosexual, lesbian, bisexual, polysexual, or pansexual; whether they are aromantic, celibate, monogamous, or nonmonogamous. Whether their relationships are exogamous, endogamous, or consanguineous. Whether they are questioning or they are certain. Whether they are raising children or have raised children or not. Whether they are married or partnered or single.
A woman, regardless of her birth, sexual orientation, relationship orientation, race, or religion, should be free to share love, sex, kink, residence, and marriage (and any of those without the others) with ANY and ALL consenting adults, without fear of prosecution, bullying, shaming, or discrimination.
(Same goes for any other adults, too.)

If I can be crass too: too much woman's right talks comes down to the right to be withholding, declining men, and being reserved. I've come to realize we also have the right to submit and give ourselves over to someone, or many people. Many are uncomfortable with us exercising this right for many reasons but rights work both ways. Women have the right to be a slut and choose to be something for a man, or men, to enjoy and expect little in return, just as they have the right to do the opposite; and they should have the right to do so without shame. Those who say i am wrong in doing this are just telling me my rights have limits.If i say i want to be someone's sex toy (pardon the bluntness) then I have that right.
ReplyDeleteI say this because what i encounter again and again, is women who believe they are free, but don't do as they wish or what they feel would bring them happiness because of a shame. The shame and expectations is a way of robbing women of their rights too.

DeleteThere is no doubt that a woman should be fully equal to a man in the field of human rights and in legal terms.
ReplyDeleteThere is no doubt that a woman should be fully equal to a man socially, including in the right to fully control herself, her body and mind, and fully control her wealth.
BUT! And this is very important.
A woman is not the same as a man anatomically and physiologically. And to say the least, it is stupid, and sometimes criminal, not to take this into account in everyday life and in legislation. Mother Nature has entrusted a woman with the most important function of procreation - the physically and mentally difficult bearing of a child, childbirth, feeding and ensuring the survival of infants, not to mention raising children. And men should bow their heads to her as a sign of deep respect for her unique role in our lives.
At the same time, we shouldn't completely identify the behavior of a woman towards women and her behavior towards men.
We must take into account that a woman's behavior towards men is determined mainly by her sexuality, her basic instinct. Similarly, a man treat women primarily in terms of sexuality and basic instinct. Ignoring this feature of our thoughts, our desires, and our behavior is not only wrong, but also very dangerous.
This applies to both social and working contacts between representatives of different genders, but is especially important in monogamous committed relationships and marriages. In the latter case, "just friendship", "close friendship" of one of the partners with representatives of the opposite gender always has a sexual tinge of varying degrees of intensity, which contributes in a huge number of cases to emotional and /or physical affairs.
In addition, we are designed in such a way that any prolonged contact, just being a man and a woman or two people of a homosexual orientation next to each other inevitably entails conscious or unconscious sexual tension between them of varying intensity, regardless of which of them is which. This is the natural basis of consanguinamory, not to mention the relationships that develop at the workplace, at school, in the gym, on business trips, on cruises, in places of joint entertainment, etc.
So, what do I want to say?
A woman is a special human being, the foundation of the development of our species in the highest sense of the word.
A woman is equal to a man in all social aspects, but up to the limits imposed by her anatomical and physiological characteristics.
A woman, like a man, is the mistress of her body, her feelings and her thoughts. But she, like a man, should understand that this freedom of hers should not bring physical, emotional and material harm to third parties, especially to her family and loved ones.
A woman (like a man) in a committed monogamous or polygamous/polyamorous relationship should be clearly aware of the danger that threatens this committed relationship in the case of close interaction/friendship between her partner/partners with representatives of the other genger, whoever they may be.
Being a Woman is honorable and difficult - I raise my toast to You, sister!
