I am so glad that this women found the words to express her anger and disgust, whereas I'm still fumbling with mine... there's just so much wrong with the ways women are mistreated, oppressed and deceived on such a large scale that when I think about it its like sinking beneath its weight. It's such an inspiration to have women like Ms. Renee standing up for women's right to bodily autonomy in such an eloquent, rightly outraged manner. There's hope yet.
***** You really want to state that on THIS poem. I didn't know that me not being able to control my body is not oppression. Wow, guess this women saying the poem is wrong...
I'm not saying that I can't control my body, because I can, but at the same time there are still being laws passed about women's bodies while there are none about men.Even through that though, yes I do have more control over my body than most. But what about the other women in the world, they can't control their body. So yes, women are oppressed. And also, your just proving that every time a woman or girl says something about feminism or defends it from idiots like you we immediately are seen as victims.

It is not just in the Muslim culture that women experience oppression, women oppression is throughout the whole entire world. Lets look at sex trafficking statics just in the Us The NHTRC experienced a 259% increase in calls between 2008 and 2012. In five years, the NHTRC received reports of 9,298 unique cases of human trafficking. The three most common forms of sex trafficking reported to the hotline involved pimp-controlled prostitution, commercial-front brothels, and escort services. Labor trafficking was most frequently reported in domestic work, restaurants, peddling rings, and sales crews. 41% of sex trafficking cases and 20% of labor trafficking cases referenced U.S. citizens as victims. Women were referenced as victims in 85% of sex trafficking cases, and men in 40% of labor trafficking cases.Now this is what you would consider a western world. Right? Okay, and lets go to your abortion standpoint. Is that not dealing with a woman's body? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abortion_in_the_United_States ^Here is a simple article about abortion statisics. Now, yes it is allowed in many states but there are still states that believe that is is part of their "duty" to control a womans body. And yes, I do know that I will never experience oppression such as the cases and articles I have listed above. I know that I am what most would say a middle-class white feminist. But feminism is so much more than just fighting for me to get paid as much as my white male counterpart. It is about all these girls who get put into sex trafficking. its about stopping genital mutilation, its about every single person whether man or woman, white, black, hispanic, asian or anything else being treated the same. So yes, you can call me a victim. You can say I am just crying wolf, that oppression in the western world does not exist and that female oppression in the world is only in Islamic countries. But I know, as do many others, that statistics and facts are in my favor. ALSO: I COMPLELTY AND UTTERLY UNDERSTAND THAT THROUGHOUT THE WORLD MEN ARE ALSO OPPRESSED, BUT IN THIS CASE I WAS LOOKING AT THE WOMEN.
How many times I have returned to this video...I have lost count. Thank you for your talent. Thank you for expressing it in such a way to a world that believes that sexism was something to be dealt with by the Suffragettes.
Gosh. I was searching the internet for a jewelry gift and whoa! look what found me. I support these words, I LOVED the performance and thank you for posting it here. I wish you well. Bear hug. (and for the the comment above we women don't care about being raised "up" to the level of men. We are all equal under heaven as human beings. I'm already up! )
Recent demonstrations across the nation lead by women were way beyond expectations. Women must keep exerting their power and presence in our homes, neighborhoods and at the nation's capital. Take up the mantel, Sisters, it time we got things done right in this country!
I have listened to the whole thing several times because this is one of my favourite spoken word poems. While all that you have stated above is true, this poem is predominantly about the injustice and unconscionability of pro-life agendas and policies.
The Center for Disease Control (CDC) reports that two-thirds of maternal deaths in the US go unreported or are misclassified. Only 24 states have mandatory reporting laws for adverse pregnancy/childbirth/post-partum events. For each death, there are about 50 instances of complications related to pregnancy/birth that are life-threatening or cause permanent damage including kidney failure, respiratory distress syndrome, shock, rose 25% from the late 1990’s to 2005
