eating-poetry:
Do you remember when we met in Gomorrah? When you were still beardless, and I would oil my hair in the lamp light before seeing you, when we were young, and blushed with youth like bruised fruit. Did we care then what our neighbors did in the dark?
When our first daughter was born on the River Jordan, when our second cracked her pink head from my body like a promise, did...

Part of me thinks it’s too soon to be writing about this because I don’t think I’ve completely processed how I feel, but I also think maybe this has happened to other women and I should talk about it in as raw a way as possible. I’m still really embarrassed and ashamed and garbled…

In a significant decision, the Punjab and Haryana High Court last week ruled that the right to abort a pregnancy in a marriage rests with the wife and not husband.
“A woman is not a machine in which raw material is put and a finished product comes out. She should be mentally prepared to conceive, continue the same and give birth to a child. The unwanted pregnancy would naturally...

drdonnaatx:
When I was 19, I married my high school sweetheart. He had never hit me in any way. Never had yelled at me. He was in the Navy and we moved nearly 1000 miles away from home. We had been married one week when he first slapped me. I forgave him. We had been married about a year when he first punched me in the stomach. I forgave him. After about a year and a half it became common for...

Shit that is not sexist re: Irene’s portrayal in Sherlock:
She is a sexual person
She is a sex worker
She is gay/a lesbian
She is not 100% perfect 100% of the time
She does not do literally every single thing on her own
Shit that is just generally not automatically sexist:
A woman losing
A woman needing to be helped/saved
A woman being emotional, vulnerable, etc.

So I'm watching this series called Chihayafuru
AND IT GIVES ME SO MANY FEELINGS. It’s so beautiful, and it’s about friendship, and following your dreams, and heartbreak, and inspiring each other, and friendship and UGH.
I haven’t been this moved by an anime series in years. It’s so precious. I’ve only watched the first five episodes and I’ve been reduced to stumbling around my apartment, flinging my arms...
