Voracious. That’s the only word to describe how I’ve read this thread. Also, what I love about BBS: As rare as it may be, I get to read such perspectives from women around the world, so thank you original poster. I heart you.
Gratitude aside, it’s inevitable: I’m depressed. As @katherinelives expresses: “Whatever culture, women are still people, trying to exist. We are not accessories or solutions. Ugh.”
This resonated more than anything else with me, after reading all comments. I want someone, somewhere to re-create that seminal scene by John Hurt from the film “The Elephant Man” wherein he cries: “I’m not an animal!” Cut to: Women all around the world saying, “We are not accessories. We are not solutions. We are as fully realized as you. We have the same desires, intellect, and foibles. We are you.”
