Woman = Flowerpot


Notice to all persons who have uteri.

It doesn't matter if you're Mary Magdalen or Mary Jones from around the corner, you are a flowerpot.

You may be a flowerpot that doesn't have any earth in it yet and can't grow anything until you get some, a flowerpot containing lots of earth but no precious seed - yet, a flowerpot just about to bring forth its bounty of blossoms, or an old cracked pot that can't hold water, earth or seed any more, but never forget that you are a flowerpot.

Has nothing changed since I was ten years old and being taught by some idiot what to expect now that I was "becoming a woman"? Are women to be forever assessed in terms of the content of their wombs, and not the content of their characters?

Yeah, that's the scary bit. You folks appear to have a full-out war on women's autonomy going on down there, and now that we have a Prime Minister who can hardly wait to cuddle up happily forever beside the leaders of the US Republican party, well, I'm just waiting to see what happens here.
