for women, and men too

[chelidon]

I don't even know by which convoluted web-surfing path I ran across this lovely post today, in the desperate but thankfully vain attempt to miss various writing deadlines (I was a bit tardy, however, and if at some point you see no further posts from me on this LJ, you will know that a poor harried editor or production person finally snapped and managed to hunt me down and pummel me into death or disability with enormous piles of empty mega-sized bottles of Ibuprofin and Ultra-strength Tums)

If you are offended by profanity, lefty politics, or a frank discussion of abortion-rights issues, do not read this. If surfing a page containing profanity will get you in trouble at work, do not read this until you get home. But, otherwise, do read this. It will be worth your while.

Inspirational.

Wow... appalled to realize (again) just how little it is about abortion and how much it is actually about the attempt to limit-into-oblivion women's colective ability to decide how and when to decide whether or not to conceive. You had it right when you said "Inspiring." For now, I'm still stuck on appalled though...

You got it. It's really about control -- I believe the neocon word is "dominion." Ugh, I should scamper off now and learn some new Malinke drumming rhythms, but instead I think I'll go drive three inch nails into wood floors. Guess what I'll be visualizing.. ;>

Gee, thanks for consuming my whole evening!

19 pages of comments ... whew! I only read about 3 of them.

lol. I didn't bother slogging through the comments, but judging by the number of them, the author sure hit a nerve...

I'm just chiming in to say yeah, and also that I'm glad I'm not the only person who almost deliberately but not exactly quite procrastinates or at least finds something else absolutely *compelling* to read at the absurd time of "minus three hours" on a deadline.

That, for me, is about control, but I will save the connections with the rest for when it's not past my bedtime..... [rambles off...]

Oh, I can always tell when I'm on a tight deadline because I get so *incredibly* prolific in other venues ;>
