Ime’s speech is hyperbolic and symbolic, not literal. Phrases like “fried alive”, “squeeze ourselves into tight-fitting trousers”, “register into judo classes” and “punch the face of every man we behold” are figurative expressions of anger and resistance. They show a shift from patience and persuasion to open resistance and confrontation in defence of women’s rights. The emphasis is on taking a confrontational stance, not on actual physical violence or abandoning womanhood.
