Socialist Vietman venerates the mothers and the wives. The woman does not exist, she is only a laborer. The liberation of women is understood here as a double exploitation... The very idea of heroism is monstruous!

Esto me recuerda un poema que decía:

Ser mujer es triste cosa
ay, triste la que nace fea
y triste la que nace hermosa.

Algo así.
