A woman performing her own cesarean section isn't a heroine; she's a woman who was abandoned. Stop romanticizing women's suffering and help them so that it never happens again.
What breaks my heart about Lina Medina’s story is that a man stole her childhood before she even had the chance to live it. She was only 4 to 5 years old when she became pregnant, and she was so young that her own son believed she was his sister until he turned 10.
She was ill. She was widowed. She was alone. She was a single mother. And the only option society left her was to become entertainment for people. She is an example of what society does to women who do not fit its norms.
It reminds me of an interview with a homeless woman who explained that she avoided showering and tried to make herself as ugly as possible to escape assaults on the street. Being a woman is just anxiety-inducing and sad.
What pains me most in this case is that EVEN in death, Junko has not found peace. Her grave was vandalized by a relative of one of her killers and had to be moved. Such cruelty is truly inhuman.
The mother pleaded with the court to stop her ex-husband from seeing their daughters. The judge denied her. He killed all three children. Yet somehow, the blame is still placed on the mother.
It is no surprise this article was written by a man.
