Women's Walk Against Rape, 1976.

[haggishlyhagging]

Why are you still spending dollar upon dollar for makeup, when your government refuses to require your employer to pay for maternity leave?

Why are you still waxing your bikini line, when you may be arrested if you miscarry a pregnancy and someone you know/love/sleep with reports you for suspected abortion?

Why are you walking around in high heels that damage your feet, when you may be required to run for your life from a male predator because the society you live in values the freedom of men more than the safety of women?

Why are you still shaving your legs, when the government has declared your uterus their property and you may be forced to destroy your body with pregnancy and childbirth even if the pregnancy is a result of rape?

Why are you consenting to make yourself look good for people who have proven they not only don’t want the best for you, they actively want the worst?

What is your consent and willing participation in this system buying you, and is it worth it?

honestly i feel like some people in society are already forgetting how consent works

someone on grindr blocked me after i told her please do not send unsolicited n*des next time. and wanna know the reason for that? she sent unsolicited nsfw pics just because i told her i was horny

just because someone is horny or stated they are horny doesn’t mean consent nor will they be comfortable with it. otherwise that’s the same thought process as a r*pist or sexual abuser

And what was the mainstream view of the widespread paternal rape of children (which it had taken feminists to expose)? It was perceived as a mental health problem. Virtually from the moment we spoke out, mental health professionals became society's appointed social sanitation engineers. It was to new-found "experts" among their ranks that the powers-that-be turned to defuse the "discovery" of the rampant patriarchal tyranny, the sexual slavery, that is incest.

They said it should be "de-criminalized." They said it was no more than a"symptom of family dysfunction". "Family dysfunction", it quickly turned out, was code. Code for: She made me do it, my wife. (This was change of a kind: it had been, She made me do it, my daughter.) And so they unveiled, for our oohing and ahing—the real culprit, the "incest mother". And I began speaking and writing about this turn of events, the medicalization of child-rape and of all crimes in the home.

And even as I wrote, paternal child rape was being tied into a noose with which to hang those the new experts identified as the real culprits: the mothers who "failed to protect". Those who "knew or should have known". And I watched as mental health ideology, mental health language coalesced into a great shield covering the entire issue, impermeable by reality.

The kind of spiritual counseling that women frequently receive within the "sacred condominium" is exemplified in an article by Fr. Bernard Häring. Writing of the woman who has been raped, he says:

We must, however, try to motivate her [emphasis his] to consider the child with love because of its subjective innocence, and to bear it in suffering through to birth, whereupon she may consider her enforced maternal obligation fulfilled [emphasis mine] and may give over the child to a religious or governmental agency, after which she would try to resume her life with the sanctity that she will undoubtedly have achieved through the great sacrifice and suffering.

Fr. Häring adds that if she has already "yielded to the violent temptation" to rid herself of the effects of her experience, "we can leave the judgment of the degree of her sin to a merciful God." Those who are familiar with "spiritual counseling" have some idea of what could be implied in the expression "try to motivate her." Despite Fr. Häring's intention to be compassionate, his solution is not adequate. The paternalistic and intimidating atmosphere of "spiritual counseling" is not generally conducive to free and responsible decision-making, and can indeed result in "enforced maternal obligation." The author does not perceive the irony of his argument, which is visible only when one sees the environment of the woman's predicament. She lives in a world in which not only the rapist but frequently also the priest view her as an object to be manipulated—in one case physically, and in the other case psychologically. Machismo religion, in which only men do spiritual counseling, asks her to endure a double violation, adding the rape of her mind to that of her body. As Mrs. Robinson of the once popular hit song knew: "Every way you look at it, you lose."

Feminist ethics—yet to be developed because women have yet to be free enough to think out our own experience—will differ from all of this in that it will refuse to give attention merely to the isolated physical act involved in abortion, and will insist upon seeing this within its social context. Christian moralists generally have paid attention to context when dealing with such problems as killing in self-defense and in war. They have found it possible to admit the existence of a "just war" within which the concept of "murder" generally does not apply, and have permitted killing in self-defense and in the case of capital punishment. They have allowed to pass unheeded the fact that by social indifference a large proportion of the earth's population is left to die of starvation in childhood. All of these situations are viewed as at least more complex than murder. Yet when the question of abortion is raised, frequently it is only the isolated material act that is brought into focus. The traditional maxim that circumstances affect the morality of an action is all but forgotten or else rendered nonoperative through a myopic view of the circumstances. Feminists perceive the fact of exceptional reasoning in the case of abortion as related to the general situation. They ask the obviously significant (but frequently overlooked) question: Just who is doing the reasoning and who is forced to bear unwanted children?

can terfs please stop acting like agreeing with one thing they said equates to being one of them. No, saying that women should have access to safe abortions is not a terf-only opinion. I'll say "rape is bad" and then they come by and be like "Oh so you agree with us? So you're a radical feminist? So you're a terf? So you accept that trans men are women and trans women are men?" Like girllll no one said that it's just you and your imaginary friends
