people tell me. argue with me every once in a while. telling me i cannot know how women are.
because i am not a woman. and yet they suppose. because they are. that they can tell me how every
woman is. how they feel. they assume they have intrinsic facts at their disposal by being a woman.
so one tells me how orgasms dont help cramps in women. but how can she know. she offers no
proof. 'i should know. im a woman.' but what she should say. they dont help cramps in her. she is
not all women. and no two women are exactly alike.
in the same way people yell at men who are pro-life. angry at 'man' for taking away their rights to
their body. and how would they know what its like to be pregnant. but they dont have to. in their eyes
they are stopping a killing. regardless of who the killing will benefit. there are pro-life women as well.
do they have any more or less right than the men. neither are that teenage girl who has family
pressures, school pressures, whatever. neither can fully understand what its like to be her. neither
can pass judgment any more rightfully than the other.
[in the end. one must realise. yes. similarities between people. and i can understand people who are
similar to me better than those who are not. but there are so many differences between people as
well. and just because one single aspect is similar. doesnt make for an understanding. each person
is different. and it is so hard in our world to accurately generalise (though i try all the time)].
