"if you think about the human race as a bird with two wings and one is damaged or broken, no-one can fly"
I think this is a really interesting metaphor about the need for equality in the world. I think having reproductive rights for women is incredibly important and it's crucial that isn't taken away. My only criticism of Steinem's speech is that she doesn't (seem to) acknowledge some of the issues men face and she ultimately boils domestic violence down to a man's need for power. There is no mention of men also suffering from domestic violence - which, granted is a lesser statistic, but is an issue all the same.
