Yesterday we obeyed kings and bent our necks before emperors. But today we kneel only to truth, follow only beauty, and obey only love.

sexism is the primal, or first, form of oppression in humanity
Sexism is a form of oppression and domination. As author Octavia Butler put it, "Simple peck-order bullying is only the beginning of the kind of hierarchical behavior that can lead to racism, sexism, ethnocentrism, classism, and all the other 'isms' that cause so much suffering in the world."

Over one in ten households in the U.S. spends more than half their
income on housing costs – a financial burden that is associated with
increased food insecurity, child poverty and a greater proportion of
people in fair or poor health – according to new research conducted by
the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute.
The annual collaboration, County Health Rankings & Roadmaps,

Rapes happened often.
“To my certain knowledge she has been used & that smartly by a
one eyed man about my size and age, excuse my foolishness,”
Isaac Franklin’s nephew James — an employee and his uncle’s protege
— wrote in typical business correspondence, referring to Caroline
Brown, an enslaved woman who suffered repeated rape and abuse at
James’s hands for five months. She was 18 at the time and just over five
feet tall.
