This is the truest description of misogyny I've ever read. And this explains what's been eating me all weekend. Here, Molly, take my money. You deserve it.

Holy hell. Thank you for this. A subscription for me, and another direct donation to Planned Parenthood for all of us.

Amen- rather, where are the A (rated) men? I’m hearing crickets from the cowardly men who benefit from reproductive rights to carry on with their limp dicks that spread to their tongue. Silence as if we knock ourselves up because we had the audacity to imbibe in a skirt or take a walk at night. I’m furious and heartbroken. Why do we carry the world’s hate in our uteruses? Arrows aimed at bosoms? Fetuses have more religious empathy than their targeted hosts— those dirty descendants of Eve only to be abandoned on birthdays because of bootstrap mentality. Guns are worshipped—GI Jesus, exalted on an ammunition throne as this country pushes the clock back to property rights and bare feet that have no voice unless they are yelling “dinner!!” Using adoption as the holy grail of solutions— forget healthcare costs and physical suffering and the torment of relinquishment; meanwhile, foster care ages out thousands of the unwanted. Never mind adoption is a tool of capitalism and colonization. I needed this pep talk—thank you for giving me permission to rage against the machine. Damn the robed liars, the legalized misogyny. I’m in touch with my inner Madonna. I’ll be taking to the streets. Giving my money to PP, Lilith.

Yours truly in agony.

Holy … this is it! What’s in my head and heart but I haven’t found the words. Wow. I have to go back and re-read this. I wish I knew the things I understand now 20 years ago. Would have made a whole lot of crap much easier.

Hello, Heather,

Another wonderful piece of writing. I already subscribe but would like to donate a little bit more to add to the amount you get from today's new subscriptions. How can I do that?

As always, thank you for the brilliant way you express your truths.
