Casteism

The one thing that truly pisses me off is Caste-ism, Sexism, and Hate. I've had my share of experiences where I'm discriminated against because I'm a woman.
Here's one question: What makes a man better than a women? No I'm not a feminist or hardcore lesbian, just a person that is incensed. There really is no answer to that, because some men do things that a woman may not be able to do, like being a male prostitute.
No I'm not bashing the male gender.

In some places like Pakistan, women are rendered unequal before the law. In many deficient countries, such as India, male children receive food, education, and health care benefits before female children. In occurrences of rape, the Hudood Ordinance in requires a testimony of a witness other than the victim to fortify a conviction for rape.

"I remember seeing a mother walking with two children. When her son asked her for a banana, she gave him one, and when her younger daughter did too - the mother slapped her and said no. I'll never forget this and how it motivated me to correct this deep problem in our culture".

- Sr Stella Baltazar, FMM, India

This is a serious problem in our world.
This isn't just a rant, it's a decisive testament of perverse crookedness.

Sincerely,
Samantha
