“the feminist’s first adversary is also her first love: her father.”

“Often father and daughter look down on mother (woman) together. They exchange meaningful glances when she misses a point. They agree that she is not bright as they are, cannot reason as they do. This collusion does not save the daughter from the mother's fate.” - bonnie burstow

Games. Tell the girls everything, starting from their childhood: they’ll take care, later, of inventing an acceptable world. I myself was playing now, a mother is only a daughter who plays, it was helping me think.

Mother Mother

I am not a mother, and I never will be. Not only because I don't want kids, but more importantly because I want to protect them from me.

I am fine with this most of my days. But sometimes at night is when I fight, away the tears. When I get so consumed, by all of my fears.

Silly ones, that are misguided and untrue. But even harder do i fight the ones, that were told by you.

So as I look at all the people, and the babies that aren't mine. All I can do is take another breath, and tell myself "I'm fine."

A child would not be happy, growing up in my care. I don't know why I sometimes struggle, feel like this isn't fair.

I try again, time after time and then some more. But every comment leaves a mark, makes my heart bruised and sore.

I do not want kids, deep down that's all I know. I am not a mother, that much I know for sure. But on nights like these, I want time to freeze. To not get another question, about when I will stop being alone. Or how it's time to get a partner, cause "time is quicker than you think" and "They're grown before you can even blink"

I do not want to be a mother, nor will I ever be. A choice I made but it feels like it's hard to accept. Even more for them, than it was for me

Dr. Deborah Harrington recently spent 2 weeks in a Gaza hospital. “I feel ashamed and shocked that we're doing this to fellow humans," she told @camanpour

There are approximately 50,000 pregnant women in Gaza, and the suffering they're enduring is beyond words. Due to the blockade on Gaza, 50% are anemic and that was before this war.

This means the majority of these mothers are vulnerable to complications.

Genocide convention reads:

any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group, as such:

(d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group.
