Chàtshu Sokhësi (/ʧɑtʃu soxɛsi/)
From Yuth Hodenai to her Brother, the Hanigakhi Bori Naekh
Anger and hunger rises in the streets and I see at the windows. But this organisation which my husband, Vict Hodenay leads is not interested in revolution, so I feel safe in declaring unto you what we desire and all the other things that come with secret socities like mine.
You may as why I speciffically call it mine. First, I pleadge my allegience to the cause that this group like mine stands for. And secondly, the most important second point I am to offer, it is me pulling the strings. For years they have called our Father, 'the Puppetmaster' however incorrect that is. While Vict Hodenay calls himself captain in our meetings, it is who sews the flags, who brings the people to hear him, who dictates the speeches he orates with such passion. After all, for all the thousand things which makes that man, for me, respecatable, he is prone to idleness and apathy.
You may also ask what we stand for. The name that we have collectively chosen tells little: merely a group and a district in Luze. Well, as you know the Taehë's representation is middling. Knowing you, you may recant with they have the Taminow Züzü. However, if you are not arguing to be a contrarian, you can see how little the Taminow matters to the Council of Bretheren. Our friends have no voice but the tiny fraction that are the Amatar-descended nobility make all the descisions! Brother, though we are wealthy now, doesn't our dear father remember how the noblity treats the Taehë, respectable men and women like himself?
Furthermore, I also use this organisation as a vessel for a more personal cause of mine: women's sufferage. We work, we bear children, we are the backbone of this empire, yet we have less rights in law than our children do! Isn't it riddiculous that a unmarried girl has more freedom that a woman like myself, older and wiser? Isn't it ridduclous that you, a man, can be a Hanigakhi yet our Kashǎ, who shares your dreams cannot follow them simply because the Gods decided she'd be a girl?
I know you men claim it is a religious commandment but what sense does it hold? And religion's commandments are in stone but religion is not. We no longer practise the law of 5 wives and 7 concubines for the holiest of kings. And yet we follow laws where for no other reason than sex, a competent person cannot govern, that Gloka Unagitsyo is not welcome to council meetings despite being the most loyal of servants all these years.
I shall not write no more, for fear this becomes an essay more fitted for a pamphelt than a simple letter to one's brother. But, if these words do not convince you of being an ally of these group, that you still belive this is a 'frivolous endeavour', come along Grozhönav Skowo and hear an orration. It may not be spoken from my lips but it is my words, most of the time.
