Being branded as 'special' is what keeps women's wages lower than men. Calling women 'special' is keeps us from breaking the glass ceiling. Setting up women as 'special' has denied them the right to control their own bodies. Labeling women as 'special' has made it harder to get advanced degrees and peer recognition.

Don't hobbled us with that 'special' albatross, just give us the same rights as men enjoy, give us that exact same goddamn equality, nothing more, and certainly nothing less!
