More on 'feminine wiles' - I have been told more than once - BY WOMEN! - that these are 'anti feminist'. So are female antagonists or fem chrs doing appalling things.

When confronted with evidence of REAL female abusers, those commentators will say its cuz they 'had no choice'
It's obvious what is going on here: those commentators believe women are inherently helpless/victims of patriachy and thus incapable of creating coping strategies or utilising skills to deal with it.

Oooh boy. So much to unpack here
For starters, denying women have any agency is HELLA sexist.

So is the idea men are automatically hard-wired to be violent.

Plus they are 'evil' despite hardship making them do bad shit, whereas women literally get a 'get out of jail free' card cuz she 'can't help it'
Also, let's not forget the 'women = victims" nearly always refers to WHITE women.

This is rarely a courtesy extended to BIPOC women.

Like men, they must take the consequences but white women get automatic understanding/sympathy, hence 'white women's tears' = WHITE SUPREMACY
Let's not forget young women either.

Typically teen girls are infantised - everything they do is considered 'too young'.

If not, they are monstered - they SHOULD KNOW BETTER.

This is particularly obvious in black teens, but also teen mums & poor women

I had the baby.

I decided that I should take the consequences of my actions.

I was just a teenager but I thought, 'If I'm old enough for sex, I'm old enough to look after a baby.'

I thought, 'OK, I can go to uni later. There's no reason I can't do all the things I want to do ... I just have to figure it out. I might have no £ but there must be help available.' (Haha).

#RoeVsWade
In other words, I did EXACTLY what these 'pro-lifers' want.

Did they help me?? HELL NO.

They called me a slut.

They said my son was destined for jail.

They called us both a DRAIN ON SOCIETY.

So on this historic day the #TivertonandHoniton win,
let's consider I was a whopping 42 years old before my vote counted for something *other* than the 'same-old, same-old'.

Let that sink in for a second.

#TivertonandHonitonByElection
I've always been politically engaged my entire life. I have voted in every election, incl MEPs (yes those who are apparently 'unelected') & council ones, since I came of age.
Hell, I even voted when I was IN LABOUR - and by that I mean literally in the process of giving birth.
I have sent letters to my MP, gone to various meetings, read everything I can, spoken to candidates ... the works.

Yet despite all that, the ONLY reason my vote really counted yesterday was an accident
