What Are Women For?

What Are Women For?

For providing sexual services.

For reproductive service: gestating sons and daughters, descendants and heirs of men.

For raising, educating, and caring for the new generations of workers and servants.

For taking care of the home and family: cleaning, organizing, feeding, managing and administering domestic logistics.

For taking care of dependent family members: elderly or disabled individuals, those who suffer accidents or illnesses.

For taking care of animals, plants, trees, and family gardens.

For tending to the homes, family members, and animals of privileged classes.

For serving as vessels and containers, for serving as commodities in men's businesses, and for enriching them using our bodies and our babies.

For entertaining, decorating, and brightening up men's gatherings and parties.

For pleasing their eyes, providing them pleasure, and making them feel powerful.

For enhancing the prestige of males, which increases according to the number of women they manage to seduce, enamor, and subdue.

For working for the husband for free, and also working for others for a meager wage.

For supporting their husbands in their projects, remaining unconditionally by their side, facilitating their social advancement, tending to their social and emotional networks, and devoting themselves entirely to the mission of making them happy.

For allowing the accumulation of resources by men and sustaining capitalism as an organizational form based on men's hoarding of wealth and power.

The root of patriarchy is the servitude of women, and from the verb "to serve" derive the words services, servers, and servants.

We are used in households, brothels, churches, fields, factories, reproductive clinics, and baby farms. We are used for their businesses, all of which are controlled by men.

This is why women have been fighting against enslavement and labor, domestic, emotional, sexual, and reproductive exploitation for centuries. Both inside and outside the home.

Women, forced to satisfy the needs and desires of men, are fighting to no longer be treated as maids and to build an egalitarian society without hierarchies, domination, or submission. Not from men to women, nor among women.

Do you now understand why feminism is the movement for women's liberation?

The primary goal of the feminist struggle is to free girls and women worldwide from the abuse and oppression we suffer from husbands and employers.

None of us came into this world to serve, neither to offer services to men nor to wealthy women. Neither for free nor in exchange for coins.

In this struggle for liberation, women have a lot at stake. Every day.

Men who do not recognize us as free beings use us, punish us, rape us, rent us, buy us, and sell us.

Some kill us when we disobey and when we attempt to escape male exploitation and violence.

137 defiant women are killed every day on this planet by their partners.

Society looks the other way, and the media blames us for the violence we suffer.

They silence us when we protest against injustices and demand equality.

The two key words to position ourselves in the present and understand the world we live in are WOMAN and TO SERVE.

And the key word to change this unjust and violent world is LIBERATION.
