Basic rights Quote by John Henrik Clarke

“In a matrilineal society, a woman has basic rights that no one has to grant her but you can't take it away from her because the society is based on the concept that the lifegiver is equal to those she gave the life to. And that will remain... until you find a pregnant man.” quote by John Henrik Clarke — Download Open image
