Jane the fucking virgin

Annoys me so much how somebpdy obviously unwilling to have a child, who goes for BIRTH control. Happens to get pregnant with no consent of hers, no autonomy and this tv show is just like ah women are yes girls they love pregnancy she will keep the baby even though its the most draining and painful thing to happen to somebody who was only at the clinic to actively prevent that from happening. No no no. I would sue the mofuckers and rip the shit out of MY uterus as i didn't consent to it being there. Why is women's biology and reproductive states made into some unrealistic, dramatic theatrical comedy? Why

“You know, when we first set up WWF, our objective was to save endangered species from extinction. But we have failed completely; we haven’t managed to save a single one. If only we had put all that money into condoms, we might have done some good.” - Sir Peter Scott, founder of the World Wildlife Fund (WWF)

I see Save the Children Commercials and think, “How about we save the children before they become children, thus saving the world?” Queue condoms and birth control raining from the airplanes. (I know it’s not that simple, but you get what I’m saying?)

do you ever watch something and think “this was written by a man”

[humanbeanisnotamused]

i was up late night watching an episode of criminal minds fairly recently, for lack of a better thing to do. in the opening scene there are these two girls getting into their car in like a supermarket parking lot, not very well lit, in the middle of the night. another car drives up right behind theirs and won’t move out of the way so this one girl is like “im gonna go see what this guy’s problem is” and gets out of the car, in a poorly lit parking lot, to confront a man who was behaving aggressively to them.

so that was the precise moment i realised that episode was written by a man.

I was watching an episode of CSI where the entire reason they were going forward with the case was that ‘no woman would wear a bra this expensive without also wearing the matching panties’.  What porn logic is this?  I was, at that moment, wearing the exact bra the Jane Doe was wearing and fuck no I didn’t spring for the matching panties.  Even if I did, I wouldn’t wear them as often as a bra.  Panties I wash daily.  Bras? Not so much.

But in CSI World, police resources were being mobilized on how irregular it would be for a woman to wear a $36 bra, but not caring about how she would look in just underthings.

[tiger-in-the-flightdeck]

Never mind not matching, but that they think $36 is expensive for a bra is probably the number one sign it was written by a man.

Grim world

CIS hetero-normative standards shoved in your face from every direction. Worsens in the black christian community regarding the 'beauty of motherhood' and yet reinforced in the white society for the same thing. But people don't see it was the rich white man to enforce these views on us to recreate a labour force. Grim grim grim. Black/ ethnic minority childfree, trans, LGBT+ women, your safe space is here.

Reasons I Should Be Allowed to be Sterilized

1) In eighth grade, I told my boyfriend at the time that I never wanted to have children. I was 13. That was literally a decade ago and my mind hasn’t changed. 2) I have type 1 diabetes, a hereditary disease, and would never, ever want to pass that down to another person. I could not live with the stress of not knowing if my child was going to have diabetes or not, and if it were to be the case, I could not deal with that amount of guilt. 3) If I were to ever get pregnant, I would have an abortion ASAP, which could be impossible in the near future due to the inaccessibility of abortion clinics. 4) I have severe OCD and would never be willing or able to raise a child. I would spend every waking moment worried about something happened to the child. 5) I also have severe tokophobia, the fear of pregnancy, and if I were to ever get pregnant, I would be extremely traumatized (even thinking about the idea of pregnancy and feeling a baby move in my womb makes me really, really nauseas). I can’t even bear to be around pregnant women in real life without feeling sick. 6) If I ever changed my mind in the future about wanting kids, I would definitely prefer to adopt rather than have a biological child. Not only due to the aforementioned tokophobia- I’m also sort of an anti-natalist. 7) I’m tired of being on birth control, I’ve been doing this for 5+ years now and my periods were so much more regular and tolerable before. I’m tired of taking these hormones. 8) I will never feel comfortable in my own body until it no longer has the means to reproduce.

Fuck off doula

Once upon a time in primal evolution the male humans with lack of rational thought would have non consensual sex with the females to reproduce, the same way dogs, cats, cows do. Due to our lack of consciousness it was normal, now if it happens its rape. Once upon a time women would wed and get married and they were taught that if their husbands wanted sex they would give them it, it was their husbands right to have a child and that 'rape' in marriage was accepted, the children as a result became heirs. Today women have better rights. But today men still feel like its a human right to have children even though they are not entitled to a Woman's body for 9 months. More men want to be fathers than women want to be mothers. And those women that do want to be mothers are often socialised into this choice from birth, given dolls etc, there is no complete free will of this its brainwashed into society to breed even though reproducing is probably the worse thing we can do for the environment. Doula's glorify this primal transition encourage no pain meds, encourage breast feeding, you see them happy from the painful contortions of womens faces whilst their husbands hold them, their body Ripping apart. What part of that is normal in the 21st century? They say its natural but at one point so was rape. I as a woman feel wholly uncomfortable living in a world where the pain and pressure of women is glorified and where procration and reproducing when the world is literally dying due to over population is normalised.

Tokophobia

 This week one of my male co-workers tried to convince me that I’ll change my mind about not wanting kids. His exact words: “One day the looks will start to fade, and you’ll be like, ‘what do I have to show for my life?’ I’ll call you in ten years - I bet you’ll have a little fuck trophy.”

I cannot believe how often people say things like this to me. When I tell someone I don’t want children, 8 times out of 10 they refuse to believe me.

“It’ll be different when you find the right guy.”

“Oh, I bet you’ll be the first of us to get knocked up.”

“You’ll change your mind when you’re older.”

“Oh honey, that’s how you feel now…”

            The next time someone refuses to respect my decision, I may just have to rip out my uterus and serve it to them with some fava beans and a nice chianti.

I have tokophobia, which is a crippling fear of pregnancy and childbirth. I have struggled with these negative feelings since my preteen years, though I had no word for it until recently. It’s much more than mere apprehension – If I think about pregnancy too hard I will have an anxiety attack. I have nightmares. The idea of losing jurisdiction over my own body is sickening and traumatizing to me. What’s worse, I have a fear of people even thinking of me as pregnant, so the relentless insistence that I will change my mind is extremely insulting and triggering, even if people don’t mean it that way.

I have given up on tracing the origins of this phobia because I have no desire to overcome it.

I will never be pregnant because I could not emotionally endure the experience. I would rather eat a live tarantula than experience that trauma.

This is a big part of the reason I am pro-choice. Abortion debates often address the physical health of the pregnant person, but mental health is rarely taken into account. It took me 23 isolating years before I learned that there are other people who feel the same way.

  My phobia used to be so severe that I was repulsed by the word “woman.” I felt betrayed by my own body, and I couldn’t stand any mention of female anatomy or menstruation. I have had to overcome a lot of internalized misogyny because of the conflation of femininity and reproduction. Thankfully, I have come to recognize that I can still identify as a woman while rejecting certain elements of the traditional female experience. As a pro-choice feminist, I absolutely respect those who choose to give birth, and I only ask the same respect for my own choice. I don’t expect anyone to understand my most intimate personal feelings, but please, at the very least, take my word for it when I tell you that childbearing will not be part of my future.

Peace and love,

Jessalee
