Reducing a woman's identity to what she means to a man with the intent to make people see that she holds some importance in our society is what has caused this. We have emphasized so much on what a woman is to her male relatives that we've made those men think that they own us. And this is where it has led us to.

If he's like this out in the public, it scares me to think how he's with her behind close doors. Women are people. They're not things or properties. Their existence is much much more than being someone's something, being related to men. They are someone themselves.
