Because
So Obama won.
That's fine.
Now I know the collapse will be financial and not moral.
Fine.
But i am done to DEATH with the "yay woman" moment.
You know what i am?
I'm a teacher. I'm a scientist. I'm a horror movie fan. I like extra cheese on my pizza. I'm a new yorker. I'm a jets fan. I'm a mets fan. I'm an iphone user. I love cats. I hate steig larssen ( Read more... )
And goddamn you fools who think that the only worth i have is my ability to call for an on-demand abortion.
I'm pro choice--but my uterus does not define me.
I love you.
Go us. Forever.
It's... hard for me to explain. I have an Interesting Brain. I want to get rid of my uterus, firstly for my own fears and anxieties and phobias, way down the list for assholes who think I'm a breeding factory.
But that is not the point. The point is that nobody should vote only on single issues like abortion, like gay marriage, like small government, like Social Security. But women did because of fear. And I never wanted to be afraid. I never wanted my fears to bleed into my politics. I did not let that happen.
I don't know why that happens so often.
Anyway. I love you. Your strength. Your commitment. Your persistence. Your perseverance. Your intensity. Your determination. Your humor. Your laugh. Your kindness. Your heart. Your light and your darkness in balance.
Here you are in your glory, blazing in the shadows, speaking of what you know is right, and I listen with open ears and mind, knowing, knowing, understanding. This is why I come to you.
One day, I will be sterilized. But not for them, never for them. I do things for me. But I voted for my conscience, which wraps around everyone.
I hope that makes sense.
