Having been raised in a culture where women are treated as 45th class citizens, I know what it's like to be dismissed and diminished and completely negated.
I'd always thought, though, that adopting the American ethos, that being an American, would be an entree into a world where I would be treated fairly, with respect, with the understanding that I have worth.
Fuck you, SCOTUS. Just fuck you. Fuck you bullshit motherfuckers who think that your religion trumps my autonomy. Eat a giant bag of dicks.
This is not a theoretical issue - this cuts straight to the core of being a woman, of being in charge of your own body. I am aghast at the absolute disdain this ruling shows for women. This is not an issue about money or even religious freedom, really. This is about telling women that men control them. It is about keeping a woman in her place.
I am so angry, so despondent, that I don't even know what to do. I know I'll never shop at Hobby Lobby - but I didn't do that before, so what does that change?
Honestly. I don't even know what to do.
I had never even heard of Hobby Lobby until yesterday.
ReplyDeleteDo they have a "Bag of Dicks" craft I can make?
Fuck.
I went there for the first time a couple months ago and I liked it, but I won't ever be going back.
ReplyDeleteI want to write Julie's comment, but she did..because she's awesome.
ReplyDeleteI think FUCK YOU SCOTUS pretty sums up how I feel about all of this.
Fuck.
There are so many parts of the Hobby Lobby case that is setting me free. The fact that their previous insurance provided birth control and they didn't say boo. That their Mutual Funds that they have for 401k's invest in companies that make birth control and that's ok. The fact that they are a huge importer of chinese goods - that have had an estimated 330 Million abortions that were state mandated in the last 40 years. The fact that people are so fucking ignorant to any of this and actually believe an IUD provides an abortion. The fact that none of them realize that they are a pawn in a business decision. Yeah lots of shit is pissing me off about this ruling...but none more so than the fact that a bunch of blow hard men are making choices about my body for me. Yeah that one trumps it all. Fuckers.
ReplyDeleteI'm having fantasies about turning a bedazzler into an instrument of torture. howzabout a little glitter where the sun don't shine, Chief Justice? Or maybe some decoupage on your ass, Judge Alito?
ReplyDeleteWTF? I can't believe this is America.
