“a girl’s guide to the world cup” … die.

gabrielle deserved to kill everyone while she was human btw. i know y'all love stories where characters who are forced to be wives and mothers ultimately comply with coercive patriarchal expectations by prioritizing the needs of kids they didn't want and couldn't abort over their own out of the pure goodness of their hearts or whatever the fuck else bullshit ur on. but gabrielle said not me bitch!

those without pure heart refer to this website as “an app”

A large part of the reason families were bigger in the past was because marital rape was not considered rape and birth control/abortion methods were ineffective, dangerous and/or illegal. We can dance around this and act like our great great great grandmothers just loveddddd being mamas so much that they decided out of their own free will to have 11 children. We can pretend that they DECIDED to have big families because it was a financially advantageous decision so they could have more labor around the farm. But a lot of children in the past were fundamentally unwanted and not conceived out of love, children were not a choice women got to make. We need to admit that and stop pretending historical women were inherently more maternal because they were impregnated at the age of 15 and kept having babies until they were 40. That did not make them loving mothers, it did not make them ‘the divine feminine’ and it sure did not make them happy.
