Property Of…

So today I was scrolling through my Facebook newsfeed and this one thing stuck out to me.
This girl that I've talked to maybe twice updated her profile picture.
Why is that a big deal? Well, it's not.
But what I saw next is. Her boyfriend had commented on it.
"Property of *her boyfriend's name*".
And that just really infuriated me.

People are not property, you cannot own a person.
And you know what's worse?
He probably meant that in a "loving" way.
This is a perfect example of how women are treated in this society.
We're supposed to belong to somebody else and not only be okay with that, but WANT it.
