Oppression


Being a wife and mother isn't oppression. Submission to your husband isn't oppression. Wearing a skirt isn't oppression.

Having to stand behind a screen so the men can't see you. Having to cover every part of your body lest you cause the men to sin. Never leaving the home, never getting an education because you're considered inferior. That's oppression.

Being in a religion with no hope of salvation, stuck in a repetitive cycle of prayers and rituals based on folklore, word of mouth, and a religion corrupted by centuries of selfishness and politics.
That's oppression.
