As a woman in the West I have access to education. I have a job, and I can change jobs as I wish. I can marry the man of my choice, or I can choose not to marry. . . . I can have an abortion. I can own property. I can travel wherever I want. . . . I can have an opinion on the moral choices of others and express my opinion, even publish it. . . . I can choose not to vote. I can stand for election to office or go into business. This is what makes the West so great.
