Just a rant
The words that pro-choicers use now a days really upsets me. One phrase in particular. "Women should have the same reproductive freedoms as men." They make it sound like men can give birth, and kill their babies whenever they want, but women are these poor slaves shackled to a wall, forced to bear, and raise, these horrible monster children. They fail to realize that Women will *NEVER* have the same freedoms as men, because men can't, and won't ever be able to, give birth. Instead of trying to make themselves 'equal' to men, they need to seriously realize that, due to basic differences of our bodies, we will never be able to be equal. We will always be as good as each other, but we will never be equal.
What they *should* be saying, in my opinion, is "Women need to define themselves, and their bodies, as a species apart from men, and not treat treat them how men, and the male-dominated society says we should treat them, but as we feel our hearts tell us to."
Or something like that. I can't quite get the words in my head to reflect the words on the screen... but still, it just makes me so mad! Even the best-operated transexual will never be equal to women. Again, not better or worse, the same in quality, just not equal.
Thanks for listening to my rant. :)
