Everyone knows Rodin's "The Thinker", but thinking isn't just for men. In fact, the world is full of "Thinking Women" rather than thinking men. Although I don't keep statistics on this, as a woman, I feel like this is the case. Women are constantly thinking, thinking about everything; they have to think about their bodies, their children, their families, humanity, the peace of the world, our future, our past, and many other things. Most of the time, the woman carries the weight of the world on her back, like Mythological Hero ATLAS, for the sake of putting her dreams on the meat chopping board and chopping them. She doesn't make a sound at all, while she carries the weight of the world, all she wants is to be treated like a human being, on equal terms and equal rights with men. However, as Nazım said, “Her place at our table comes after our ox” most of the time.
