#error gets serious

To anyone who reads this: Hantavirus isn’t thought have a high pandemic risk like Covid did/is still doing. But for FUCKSSAKE

Does anyone else find it weird that we associate femininity and true womanhood with pain

Childbirth hurts

Pregnancy hurts

Menstruation hurts

But you’re a woman and these are the cornerstones of womanhood so suck it up and don’t you dare cry about it

Don’t seek relief for menstrual pain and epidurals during labour are shameful

You’re supposed to do this it’s your divine feminine it’s your duty to God it’s normal and natural

Like growing up I was taught all of this

And it is normal and natural but if we could stop associating womanhood’s highest honors with the body’s capabilities and pain then I think people would be happier

Also while we’re here why do we always clutch our pearls about young women ruining their bodies instead of making life choices that we might not agree with

Don’t take testosterone you’re ruining your precious womb your wonderful ovaries your divine vagina

Don’t get an abortion you’re destined to be a mother someday so why not now

Don’t get your tubes tied your husband won’t like that

Don’t remove your breasts or reproductive parts I know you have cancer but you want to preserve that pretty body of yours

I’ve heard all of these why do we continue to do this to women

Why do you continue to place all value of being a woman into the body like that’s the only thing that matters
