First World Feminism

What's the point of this website?

A fair question. Two quick answers:

1. Those of us lucky enough to live in the most progressive parts of the world tend to focus on how good we have it, and yet we still haven’t achieved true gender equality.

2. I’m over trying to pitch women’s magazines. If the story isn’t about slimmer thighs for summer, they’re just not interested.

This stuff is important, I’ll try not to make it too dry.

Pro-choice means fighting forced abortions too.

They are stories of women given injections in their seventh, eighth, and ninth months of pregnancy and forced to give birth to dead babies after days of contractions.

They are stories of women snatched by officials in their last month of pregnancy, dragged to clinics, forcibly injected with solution that kills their unborn child, and kicked in the stomach.

They are stories of dozens of women rounded up and brought summarily, by force, to a hospital where they are sterilized against their will.

The one thing worse than being forced not to have an abortion is being forced to have an abortion.
