When a man touches a woman's body, he is not just touching her body. It goes MUCH DEEPER than that for a woman. He is touching parts of her soul-parts as diverse as how she feels about being a grandmother some day, to what is her favorite ice cream, to how much she loves her pet, and to her opinion of how the current President is governing.

The new caste system, unlike its predecessors, is officially colorblind. We must deal with it on its own terms. — Michelle Alexander
