sessifetNo-one gets to decide what a woman does to, with or about her body. No, I don't care what good and sensible reasons you have for believing she should not eat something, or drink something or fuck something: you do not get to have a say. No, governments do not get to legislate what any woman does with her body at any point in time. No, it is not your business what a woman does with what's between her legs. No, you do not, in fact, have a right to say anything about her sexual and/or reproductive choices. No, it does not matter what gender you are, you do not get to pass judgement or police or dictate what a woman does to or with or about herself.
Women should not have to defend their right to decide what they do with their bodies.
Women should not have to conform to stupid arbitrary standards to please everyone else.
Women should not have to prove that they had sex the 'right way' or are not a slut or a whore or a deviant in order to earn the 'moral' right to have an abortion.
Women have the basic right to bodily autonomy and it pisses me off that the world believes we don't and act as such.
So just in case this wasn't clear:
What we do with our hearts? Not your business.
What we do with our minds? Not your business.
What we do with our lives? Not your business.
Whom we decide to fuck or not? Not your business.
What we do with our bodies? Not your business.

Of course, this comes under 'what we do with our lives' and 'what we do with our bodies', but it deserves a sentence of its own, I feel

because while I am very much a believer in "people must make their own choices", if that decision involves someone else then that person should also be part of it. (Right up until it doesn't involve them of course, and then it's not their business any more.)
