Private appropriation of the Earth’s surface, the natural resources, and the means of life is nothing less a crime than a crime against humanity, but the comparative few who are beneficiaries of this iniquitous social arrangement, far from being viewed as criminals meriting punishment, are the exalted rulers of society, and the people they exploit gladly render them homage and obeisance.

Naming things, breaking through taboos and denial is the most dangerous, terrifying, and crucial work.

I believe freedom begins with naming things. Humanity is preserved by it.
Eve Ensler
