Horrible news:
I’ve got to say, though, if the women of the state are not out in the streets massively right now, protesting being treated like cattle, then they deserve to be treated precisely like that. Then, of course, all the whining and moaning about how women are “objectified” and how they do the bulk of housework will ensue. Although it is pretty clear that if you allow yourself to be treated like a brainless object with no shred of humanity in one are of life, you have resigned yourself to being treated this way in every area of life.
I can’t say I really blame Mississippi’s governor Phil Bryant. He is defending his interests which consist in controlling and humiliating women. He is being very logical and productive in working towards this goal. The women of this state, however, are a mystery. It isn’t like they gain anything from being trampled on in this way (other than the dubious pleasure of feeling like good little girls who renounce the right to control their own bodies). Why do they just sit there like passive little dummies?
Women of Mississippi, what the fuck is wrong with you? You could destroy this governor’s career if you laid aside your stupid patriarchal brainwashing and discovered some sorry remains of human dignity. Don’t you see that the issue at stake is so much larger than abortion?
I haven’t had any abortions and I’m not planning to have them in the future. Neither should you have them if the idea doesn’t sit right with you. But aside from mine and yours gynecological history, there is the matter of whether the state where you live considers you to be brainless cows. Don’t get an abortion, if you don’t feel like it, but don’t allow yourself to be treated like a doormat just because you need to feel self-righteous about the kind of medical procedures you have or haven’t had. Stop being such stupid, brainwashed fools already and take to the streets to protest this kind of an appalling treatment.
And if you are a woman who doesn’t see anything appalling in Governor Bryant’s initiatives, then you are a brainless cow, and I apologize profusely for messing with such a huge part of your identity.
