After a man broke into my house and raped me when I was 20, many of male friends got VERY emotional about it and I felt like I was babysitting THEM instead of being supported. Except one who came over, night after night, and slept on my couch so I could feel safe in my room.

He never expressed that he was there to hurt anyone, or made me babysit his anger. Instead, he made sure I wasn't alone, that I had backup if the man came back, and that I was believed. He stayed until my roommate came home from vacation.

Nope, they just don't want to drink alone. Men go to bars with to watch sports together and to drink. Men go to bars to play pool with each other. They did both of these things before women were allowed in bars. By your logic, men were only doing these things to fuck each other.

Look at you, steadfastly refusing to hold men accountable for their actions.
Perhaps women should start responding to men who slip drugs in their drinks by slipping poison into the drink of the man responsible.
That would solve the problem for the next woman.

Kindness would be helping a homeless women safely care for her kid.
Cruelty is using her poverty to make her feel helpless and unable to raise her child and convincing her she isn't worthy of her own offspring.

Dear Person Who Adopted -
Your voice as someone who was an adopter is NOT valid in the conversation about what it was like to BE adopted.
YOU cannot speak for THEIR lived experience. They are an individual apart from YOU.
Do not tell an adoptee they're wrong about their life.

Men are so fucking weird about women.
My observation: when I walk with my 1yo son and some childless women beyond their prime pass by (>27yo) I can see and feel a low-key vibe that is maybe best described as contrite - a strange mix of remorse/regret/unfulfillment. It's subtle but it's ALWAYS there. I can see it,

This is why I talk about my adoption. This is why I talk about my mother's rape and murder. This is why I talk about my home invasion. I will not be quiet, I will not sit here and take it, I will not be a good woman, I will be a troublemaker.
The most subversive thing a woman can do is to talk about her life as if it really matters.
It does.

Men didn't GIVE women the vote. Men WITHHELD the right to vote from women until WOMEN stood up and FOUGHT for the right to vote.
If men hated women they wouldn't have given them the vote.

Just a reminder that when a woman "gives up" her child so they can have a "better life" when she would have raised the child herself if she had the means it's not a happy, positive thing. Encouraging this instead of helping support mothers is supporting the oppression of women.

When I was adopted, I was 3 1/2. I knew my name.
The lawyer who arranged it told me to call the nice couple coming to view me mommy and daddy so they'd take me home.

Fortunately, my adopted mother wasn't having that shit.

Why do people not question this myth? What do you mean you think a woman loved her baby so much she abdicated her natural role to hand them over to strangers? You're describing a failure of society to support the mother and the lies we tell ourselves to make it okay.
@kidcancermom
@JenniferRoseNYC
It's definitely circumstantial when it comes to adoption.
Some birth mothers really love their baby, but realize that they are too poor, too mentally unstable, too young to provide their baby the life they deserve. So they make the sacrificial act to give them a better home.
