All meaning is taken away from this talk from its first words. Indeed this speech beckons all to understand the Courage of Self and Creator. At the same time, it was the "sufferage" known to a woman that gave this speech all power for its era.

Why is this read by a man?

[@zakinaab]

I felt exactly the same at this moment, then I saw your comment. It makes sense that woman should read it..

Brecca Chabot-Olson Why not just stand in awe of this amazing speech than whoever is reading it? Instead of thinking about who's reading these words and instead focus on the one who wrote these words... how this brave, strong woman; a woman who paved the way for us to be a free, self ruling human beings, instead of being an uneducated, second class citizen that were thought of as only being a man's property? Bathe yourself in this light of these words of love and wisdom.

@@mgb5170 It's obvious that I'm not reliant on men by my comment. And you know this, but you're bitter... gotta get your dig in. Don't do things in bitterness. Be bigger than that! But in the end, you wanna believe that about me, a stranger... go right ahead, makes no difference to me.
