You came into this world needing to be fed, changed, given care, concern and consideration by those around you.
Then you became less dependent and more defiant.
Assets and Liabilities depending on being born male or female.
Some see each as life generating, one life limiting.
Generations past heralded the birth of a boy as continuation of a family name, the passing of property.

Generations of women lived as subservient first to fathers, then to husbands.
Society told them they had no individual value, they weren't even an extension, they were breeders and instructors, staying home, given an allowance, expected to follow, never lead.

Did we make a "U Turn" somewhere since the 1950's?
