Someone else, natch, says it better.

Over at Because Sometimes Feminists Are Mean, Vicky quotes a passage from Catherine MacKinnon's book:

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights defines what a human being is. In 1948, it told the world what a person, as a person, is entitled to. It has been fifty years. Are women human yet?

That's the beginning of it.  If I were to quote the awesome parts, I'd quote the entire damn thing.  Go ye forth and read it in its entirety, because goddamn.
