Here The Oppression Of Women Is Very Subtle. If We Take Female Circumcision, The Excision Of The Clitoris, It Is Done Physically In Egypt. But Here It Is Done Psychologically And By Education.

Democracy Is Not Just Freedom To Criticize The Government Or Head Of State, Or To Hold Parliamentary Elections. True Democracy Obtains Only When The People - Women, Men, Young People, Children - Have The Ability To Change The System Of Industrial Capitalism That Has Oppressed Them Since The Earliest Days Of Slavery: A System Based On Class Division, Patriarchy, And Military Might, A Hierarchical System That Subjugates People Merely Because They Are Born Poor, Or Female, Or Dark-skinned.

The Feminists Who Are Aware Of The Effects Of Patriarchy Realize That We Are All In The Same Boat From The Dangers Of Patriarchy, And That The Oppression Of Women Is Universal.
