WOMEN'S LIBERATION
1840

The women of Oren do not receive equal treatment. In many aspects, we are treated as second-class citizens. The patriarchy is the cause.

The rights and equality for women have significantly improved over the past century, but our full potential has yet to be released due to the patriarchal systems enrooted in our country’s soil. II have noticed the following section in the Orenian Revised Code: section 303.03D.

 

"301.03D - All marriages require the consent of the man and the legal patriarch of the woman participating in matrimony. If this patriarchal prerogative is withheld and the marriage proceeds, it is to be considered unlawful and null."

 

By saying that women are incapable of consenting to matrimony, and granting men more power over what we do with our lives and lives than we do, this segment is completely disgraceful. It is an example of the patriarchy that oppresses women today.

In freeing ourselves from patriarchal structures and restrictions, society will benefit all of us. But what is patriarchy exactly? Patriarchy is the privilege bestowed to men and the de facto exclusion of women.

The patriarchy isn't just enforced legally, it is also part of human society. This patriarchy manifests much more socially than legally, at least from what I have seen. 

 

We need to do more to include more women in the close circle. Her Imperial Highness Josephine Augusta and Elizabeth Brae-Wittenbach are eminent figures in government

In her famous piece on female representation, my great aunt argued that if more women ran for public office and got involved in government, the male-dominated system could change or even be transformed.

However, women must also rise up for gender equality. I know that some women have self-taught misogyny and that some men believe in the old ways of male supremacy. This does not hinder my hope for equality.

 

I urge you, sisters and friends, to come together to help build an Oren that is free of patriarchy, and let's create a society that works for everyone.

Magni Irongut a proud dwarf would be walking down the streets of providence in search of a new set of paint brushes before finding the leaflet. Magni proceeds to wonder why umri women spend so much time writing dumb leaflets instead of being like dwarven woman and taking matters into their own hands. 

"GROW A BEARD! LADY BELKA AN LADY ANBELLA ARE NAE WIMPS WOI ARE YE ONE!"

The beardling would shout at the top of his lungs.

Mera Camian, Norlandic matriarch, nationalist agitator, and independent woman, read over a copy of the flyer that made it into her hands in the course of her travels. "It is kind of odd to me that they've not figured this out yet; we got it nailed down ages ago. Southerners sure are an interesting sort. Maybe if they spent less time writing and more time doing- Ah well, not my country, not my job." She quipped dismissively, dropping the leaflet on the ground near to where she had found it and moving on with her day.

“I think the real problem with women is that they don’t have as many violent means to express themselves. If we made it more possible for women to access groups like Frost Witches or other magics that empower them dramatically, to the point they could murder their oppressors, we could have genuinely interesting conflict.” says Ti’Gobser, “This being instead of what amounts to someone shouting liberal values and then being beat to death by a conservative lynch mob.”

"I hate women," a certain Dame Viktoriya sagely nods.
