For Every Woman
For Every Woman
By Nancy R. Smith, copyright 1973
About this poem: This poem found its way around the world by word of mouth as part of the Women's Movement and the many consciousness-raising groups in existence then. It was of the same timeframe as Ms. Magazine, Marilyn French's The Women's Room and Marlo Thomas' Free to Be album. It is important to understand its context. It has now been "adapted" with credit to Nancy R. Smith but without her permission. Much of the original wording is still intact in the adaptation, which is being sold in poster form. This is the original!
For every woman who is tired of acting weak when she knows she is strong, there is a man who is tired of appearing strong when he feels vulnerable.
For every woman who is tired of acting dumb, there is a man who is burdened with the constant expectation of "knowing everything."
For every woman who is tired of being called "an emotional female," there is a man who is denied the right to weep and to be gentle.
For every woman who is called unfeminine when she competes, there is a man for whom competition is the only way to prove his masculinity.
For every woman who is tired of being a sex object, there is a man who must worry about his potency.
For every woman who feels "tied down" by her children, there is a man who is denied the full pleasures of shared parenthood.
For every woman who is denied meaningful employment or equal pay, there is a man who must bear full financial responsibility for another human being.
For every woman who was not taught the intricacies of an automobile, there is a man who was not taught the satisfactions of cooking.
For every woman who takes a step toward her own liberation, there is a man who finds the way to freedom has been made a little easier.

De laatste boer van Duivendrecht
Toen was ik op vakantie, net. Ik fiets er iedere dag langs op weg naar het station. Het maakt me triest dit. Vooral als ik in Elsevier (met dank aan PvWK) lees hoe de man leefde (Ferdinant van Schaick). Hij is 92 geworden, als ik het goed uitreken -niet m'n sterkste punt- hij is geboren op 25 december 1918. Ben benieuwd wat er nu met de woning gebeurt. De oude hooiberg en het hele erf en de boerderij zijn wel in verval, zou mooi zijn als er iets publieks mee gebeurt. De stichting Oud-Duivendrecht zal het mede-bepalen, denk ik. Stukje in de Volkskrant uit 1998 toen het er nog om ging of hij weg moest van de gemeente, niet doorgegaan.
