Oh my God, when Trump first greeted her and went on and on about her physical shape I got so enraged that I got a facial twitch.

“Great evening with President @EmmanuelMacron & Mrs. Macron. Went to Eiffel Tower for dinner. Relationship with France stronger than ever.”

You are not a woman so take a seat.

100% same. A couple of years ago I read a piece (I can’t remember where, might not have been in English) about all the menstruation-related shit the women in these regions have to go through and. there. were. so. many. stories. of. rape. It was heartbreaking.

The snake is incidental to the exposure and isolation when your care needs are higher than usual. You shouldn’t be isolated and unprotected when hygiene is particularly important, when you’re weaker than usual or ill and susceptible to environmental factors, or when snakes or other wildlife can threaten your safety. …

You do realize a child died because of this practice, right? And that she’s not the first? I don’t give a fuck about “culture” when it causes children to die.

Or protect women from themselves (you know, birth control will make us slutty and ruin our lives and whatnot. ) We’re so lucky to have men to look out for us- especially during *that time of the month*!

Because banishing women to unsafe conditions for being unclean isn’t hurting anyone?

Died from a snakebite because she was forced out of the house due to some backwards-ass patriarchal practice. What if she died of exposure? Or was attacked by a bear? Or raped/kidnapped because she wasn’t protected? When does it become dangerous and neglectful for you?
