women are central to the evolution of cultures, attitudes, and prejudices. we categorize people more often, put them into fewer boxes. we also feel with more pain, are capable of stronger empathy. we put ourselves in others' shoes more. and denounce them. or praise them. both with more sincerity and emotion than men do. and anyway, who am I to talk about men and women? who am I to categorize?

they said educate the women and you educate the world. feed the women and you feed all that comes from their womb. sensitize the women and you sensitize their rapist sons and brothers. maybe. sensitize the women and you eradicate xenophobia from the world. this is a woman, who does not restrict herself as one, talking to others, trying to free minds, making them see outside of their self-painted boxes.
