Last evening, the US Supreme Court overturned Roe vs Wade, giving the states the power to ban abortion, which they took no time in doing. 4 of the 5 Justices behind this decision were men and that requires some introspection.
Men are taking decisions on the bodies of people who are biologically capable of doing things they can probably not even comprehend. How is this not alarming? How is this normal?
What credibility do they have when so many of them are clueless about the most basic facts about bodies that don’t function like theirs?
I tweet this every time men decide it’s time to make decisions about women’s bodies, but my ex boyfriend thought all women got their period on the 15th of the month. He was 26 at the time.

One of my exes came to me slightly bewilder with the question, how do women go swimming without their uterus filling up with water? He really thought we filled up like a water balloon

When my ex took my viginty he said he didn’t think I was a virgin because he throught he had to make the vaginal opening himself. He was 24.

Who gave them this power when they lack fundamental empathy?
Like this guy who sent a woman, a mother, a screenshot of an article that states “childbirth is not as painful as feminists tell you”. How many children has this person birthed?
HAHAHAHAHAHA This is a hilarious. Man is sending me — someone who has given birth — link telling me child birth is “not as painful as feminists tell you”. I’ve heard a lot of mansplains but this one takes the cake. pic.twitter.com/K2wav67Xsy

To question a woman’s pain in the first place and then to question it at such a sensitive time, requires entitlement that has been served to these men on a platter to consume freely.
In turn, they also consume everything that comes their way. Any challenge to their undisputed power, any kind of autonomy.
…what? 🙄men with unshakeable confidence in their opinions no one asked for are a different breed altogether. https://t.co/oKWWjbCdlV

I am just amazed at what would really trigger a man to write about birth pain,let alone compare it to anything. What on earth is the feminist angle! https://t.co/nkBI6mWnql

My take : please shut up and stop embarrassing yourselves. Chup rehna bhi seekho thoda bhai please. https://t.co/Ma4waTIvLl
Men with an opinion on something they have never experienced really need to shut the hell up. This is true of all men everywhere on this god-forsaken planet. https://t.co/OV6nXzvx35

A cis male telling a woman who’s given birth how childbirth isn’t as painful as she claims it is. https://t.co/UVEImXEBl8
This is an important time for the gender, especially its cis-het members to take a hard look at what they are saying and who they are supporting.
