"Have we reached the point at which women can begin to think of themselves as not being chattel?"

Approximate quote from the BBC. The last bit may have been "not as chattel".

Context: an archaelogical dig which found a bunch of executed male corpses from one tribe, suggesting that the women and children were captured by another tribe + an idiot interviewer.
