Kohaku said: “I can’t understand why any rational males would associate with them either.”

I have an answer to that: to preserve unearned MALE PRIVILEGE. It’s about male supremacy, male entitlement to enslave, exploit, damage and discard women’s bodies for MALE benefit at ALL women’s expense.

Why else has the trauma, pain, disfigurement, side effects and risks of pregnancy to women always been downplayed or ignored while everyone in these abortion and birth control “discussions” focuses only on “the baby” as if women aren’t people and don’t have a right to exist on our own terms?

Why is forced organ donation unacceptable for men but perfectly OK to impose on women, and yes, forced donation of my body — in whole or in part — is EXACTLY what forced pregnancy and forced childbirth is. It is legalized sexual torture and reproductive abuse in flagrant violation of women’s basic human rights to bodily autonomy and bodily integrity.

I am sick and tired of having to justify my existence and defend my rights to my own body just because I’m a woman living in a shit-filled misogynistic, male supremacist cesspool masquerading as a “democracy.”

That’s Phyllis Schafly’s mantra, as well. She is speaking at the GOP convention.

It’s all well and good to ban abortion and control women’s bodies until it concerns their wives, daughters etc…
What will they say if their lives ones were raped, would the matter of contraception matter. That’s right, they’re protected and we would never know if it happens. They’re over stepping their boundaries thinking we will be thrust back into that time in history where we had no voice, no choice. Seen and not heard. Well, I have a voice and a choice. Stay the heck out of my reproductive system, stop trying to control my body better yet, stop trying to control everything and stick to “trying to run the country”. Wait just disappear, they don’t even need to do that, with the plans they have for all of us. Seriously, tax hikes for the middle class, tax breaks for the rich, and forget the poor and homeless, he’ll they have government assistance to live on, but the plan ifs to cut that as well. Contradicting
