Sometimes I just have it up to the wazoo with...

So many men's effing violence towards women!!!!
Aaarrrrrgggggggg!!!!
😠😠😠😠😩😩😩😭😭😭😱😱🤪🤪🥺🥺🥺🥺 sigh

Sorry, I needed to get that out

(And I was feeling this a day or so before this lastest atrocity, and most likely add Racism into the mix)

why. Why. WHYYYY can't most men think of us as People
first!!??!!? ( pounds imaginary pillow )
I'm mostly being rhetorical here.

And not all women want children either. Motherhood is not the end all and be all of all women.
I *honor* women who undertake the intense, and joyful journey (and dad's who are committed to being a good dad). I remember the first time I felt a baby move inside the to-be-mother. Like...woooah!
Anyway luckily my parents never pushed me in that direction.

I have to find the articles that pose
"women put up with milder forms of sexism so they
can avoid violent sexism".
(as I'm adding this radio show on violence against women - about the same in the US. Sigh)

Obviously there's too many who experience increased injuries, and death.

Stay safe!
