Marital sex and rape are opposite and opposing forms of sexual expression only when women are viewed as sexual property: when rape is seen as the theft of one man’s property by another man. As soon as the woman as a human being becomes the central figure in a rape, that is, as soon as she is recognized as a human victim of an inhumane act, forced
When the poet sang me the fall of Troy, his story told of the king’s daughter Cassandra, who, foresaw what would happen and tried to prevent the Trojans from letting the great horse into the city, but no one would listen to her: it was a curse laid on her, to see the truth and say it and not be heard. It is a curse laid on women more often than on men. Men want the truth to be theirs, their discovery and property.

"istemem yan cebime koy"
Intelligence, says Dewey, is not “an individual possession,” but “a social asset,” which “is clothed with a function as public as is its origin....” Hence, “property and reward” are not “intrinsically individual.” Since the minds of scientists and industrialists are a collectively created social resource, so is the wealth these minds have made possible. What America needs now, Dewey concludes, is “organized action in behalf of the social interest,” “organized planning” of the economy —in short, “some kind of socialism.” He does not reject individualism, Dewey says, only the concepts of an independent individual and of individual rights. He calls his theory a “new individualism.”

Contrary to the Marxists, the Nazis did not advocate public ownership of the means of production. They did demand that the government oversee and run the nation’s economy. The issue of legal ownership, they explained, is secondary; what counts is the issue of control. Private citizens, therefore, may continue to hold titles to property—so long as the state reserves to itself the unqualified right to regulate the use of their property.

As Ayn Rand put it, “The right to life is the source of all rights—and the right to property is their only implementation. Without property rights, no other rights are possible.”
Property, then, is crucial to understanding the meaning of other rights, and also to understanding what it means to exercise those rights. Th e right to property is, in effect, a precondition to the exercise of all legitimate rights.
This doesn’t mean, however, that you have a right to be given, e.g., a home or apartment, healthcare (or health “insurance”), a minimum standard of living, an education, etc.

Fighting back his rage, Therdeo let out a small sigh. He then pulled off the black glove he was wearing with his lips. "I can't tell you what to do just based on how I feel. You are my wife, not my property."
