Women: Our Mothers...Our Sisters...Our Daughters

Remembered Women by Carl Sandburg

FOR a woman’s face remembered as a spot of quick light on the flat land of dark night,
For this memory of one mouth and a forehead they go on in the gray rain and the mud, they go on among the boots and guns.
The horizon ahead is a thousand fang flashes, it is a row of teeth that bite on the flanks of night, the horizon sings of a new kill and a big kill.
The horizon behind is a wall of dark etched with a memory, fixed with a woman’s face—they fight on and on, boots in the mud and heads in the gray rain—for the women they hate and the women they love—for the women they left behind, they fight on.

Rape has often been used as a weapon of war, as a tactic to cause pandemoniacal chaos, to instill fear and to tear families apart, to induce instability; and our mothers, our sisters, and our daughters - are the ones who pay the price.

My wife and I are doing what we can monetarily wise, and I ask that you try and do the same. My soul aches hearing the stories of these women.

As my g/f is a victim of the act, I think it really is important that all who feel some sort of sympathy to women should embark in action against rape and against rapists. We should all try and stop this horrific form of terrorism, and make the world a better place for all to live in.

Well, I feel safer in my bed at night now.

:lol: @ 'some sort of sympathy towards women'

Well, there are still some chauvenists round the block don't you think? :smilie4:

Well Skweeky...answer the man!

I'm not quite sure what shovenists are. Do you mean chauvenists?

Something to do with shoes I thought :unsure:

Or shoving women maybe?
