Woman = Flowerpot

[morgan_dhu]

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?

And clearly basic guidelines for health need only apply to women capable of producing babies for the propagation of humankind.

Well, of course. That goes without saying. Women are only good for making healthy babies for the fatherland, everyone knows that. If there's no chance they might be pregnant, then to hell with them, let them take care of themselves.

Welcome to the Republic of Gilead, as many of my friends have been saying.
