Every social trait labelled masculine or feminine is in truth a human trait. It is our human right to develop and contribute our talents whatever our race, sex, religion, ancestry, age. Human rights are indivisible!

Behind the line

What it means

Our interpretation.

The speaker rejects sorting qualities into masculine and feminine, insisting all such traits are simply human. Everyone, regardless of race, sex, religion, ancestry or age, has a right to develop and use their talents. Rights, in this view, cannot be split into parts or handed out selectively.
