A man's desire to become a father is always paid for by a woman with her body, her health, her career, and her freedom.
But when a woman expects a comfortable life, she is somehow shamed for wanting too much.
a man in istanbul st*bbed his sister seventeen times in a public park for “tainting the family name” by living alone. he surrendered to police, calm and resolute. his uncles visited the station, bringing his favorite food. the media debated “provocation” and “cultural pressure.” his sentence was reduced for “good behavior” and “honor mitigation.” he will be eligible for parole in nine years. her apartment has been cleared out, her plants dead on the windowsill
menstrual products cause bodily harm. toothpaste causes dental issues for women because it was designed for men specifically. Male baldness is studied more than endometriosis....They created a male birth control but pulled it when it was linked to cancer, & acne, hairloss, mood swings...yet women have been living with those same risks for decades. This is more than medicine; it's proof of a system that protects men's comfort while ignoring women's pain.
teach girls it’s OKAY to not want kids. that they can be whole, functional people without being a MOTHER. that waiting until 30 isn’t TOO OLD. teach girls they don’t have to SELL THEIR YOUTH, because MOTHERHOOD isn’t for EVERYONE... and we need to stop acting like it is
Woman on tiktok reported how she and her husband got root canals on the same day, same doc. He got percoset, she got ibuprofen. Dentist said, "women handle pain better." Comment section filled with women reporting similar experiences. You will never convince me that patriarchy & gender inequality isn't to blame for this cruelty. Underneath the "women can handle pain better" line is "women are supposed to suffer."
