Como se sente uma mulher

Como se sente uma mulher:

Para o homem, só é possível ver o privilégio se houver empatia. Tente imaginar um mundo onde, por cinco mil anos, todos os homens foram subjugados, violentados, assassinados, podados, controlados. Tente imaginar um mundo onde, por cinco mil anos, só mulheres foram cientistas, físicas, chefes de polícia, matemáticas, astronautas, médicas, advogadas, atrizes, generais.

“I have attempted to break my back, but I missed. I need to be paraplegic, paralysed from the waist down.” Sean O’Connor is a very rational man. But he also tried, unsuccessfully, to sever his spine, and still feels a need to be paralysed. Sean has body integrity identity disorder (BIID), which causes him to feel that his limbs just don’t belong to his body.
