My #FGM TORTURE🩸
Agnes Pareyio Recalls Hers:
"I was 14 when my mom and grandma announced that I was going to have my clitoris, my labia majora and my labia minora cut out. They said that if I resisted I was a coward. In my culture, the worst thing you can be called is a coward.

On the day I was mutilated, I was woken up at three in the morning and taken outside, naked, because the villagers believed that if I felt the morning breeze on my body it would cool me and I would bleed less. I saw that the object they would cut me with was not sharp. I was not
offered any anaesthesia, but I was told not to cry – your father is in the house, they said, and he should never hear you cry.
I was determined to show I was not a coward, so I tried very hard not to show any emotion. As a result, I was cut deeper and I could not stop bleeding. I

I know i make a lot of noise, but heres something thats been on my mind lately. Im over here waiting. Listening. Praying. For us to take back the word #feminism. Feminism is a beautiful thing & Im tired of it being shat on by entitlement seekers. Then it just hit me.
We cant wait & take back. We need to accept that we wont make everyone happy. We cant play peacemakers & take back feminism. Im done waiting. Who's with me? I dont want this to be the end of it. I'll be fervently reading, writing, watching & listening. Who's with me? #Feminism
Again, I know i make a lot of noise but hhis noise needs to go somewhere & i need to drive my noise just like the rest of you need to drive yours. We need to turn our noise into action.Turn our noise into persistance.Into the next step that we take.Not the next step we are given.

I shouldn’t have to explain the realities of sex-based oppression in 2018! #Female is a biological sex. #Gender is the roles and norms that are imposed on those with female bodies to subjugate them to males for free sexual, domestic, and reproductive labor.
No matter how many genders a given culture had or recognized, somehow, the half of the group with a cock and balls (males) knew which other half of the group to forcibly impregnate (“#NonMen”, according to some). 🤔🤔🤔
