Sincere question for the women of DU

[CharleyDog]

65. Women are not valued.

Pregnant women, the most vulnerable time, face many threats; they cannot even count on evidence-based, standard-practice medical care.

Women's pay is less. Everything about their lives are worth less. They don't even get to keep their name.

Many states now feel no shame in wanting to restrict women's travel as if they are escaped slaves; valid and reliable abortion medicine is "illegal" not for medical reasons, but for control.

Already one state, Florida, seems to have mandated that women athletes submit their menstrual cycles to further control them.

there's much more, of course, but lastly, women are murdered/disappeared at an astounding rate, esp women of color and even worse for First Nation women. Rape is ignored by the "police" and women fear reporting their abuse because they are not taken seriously, are mocked, and belittled. Sex workers disappear and the "police" don't investigate, because they themselves, MEN, invented this category of women to be used and discarded.

Because women are viewed (so much is subconscious) as less. We're compared to cows, to animals. We are animals to be USED.
"How can I use her," a common first reaction from many men. This is my experience in life so far.

I've said this before, here, and some people felt offended. Yet, perhaps dig a little into your subconscious now and then, and see what's there.
