When I began sherights, I intentioned it to serve as a platform for raising women’s voices and experiences. I’m honored that over the last few years, several people have joined me in sharing their personal experiences, from abortion to rape, sexual harassment, and more.
Call me greedy, but I want even more.
It is through sharing our stories as women and feminist allies (ahem, #FeministMen), that we help dismantle stigma and patriarchal norms, and gain support, tolerance and understanding of ourselves and others.
Are you an abortion clinic escort? Activist? A female working in STEM or other male-dominated field? Sexual assault survivor? Have you had an abortion? Do you identify as LGBT? A woman of color? We want to hear — and share — your story, too. (And by no means is this list of identities and experiences exhaustive).
If you are interested in joining our #MyStory series, please email editor@sherights.com.
Thank you for this piece
This is the absolute limit. Feministing published an article calling the woman who fed her daughter drugs to spare herself an inconvenience “somebody who should get every Mom of the Year Award ever.” I’m speechless. I mean, I lost my voice so I’d be speechless anyway but this is very shocking.
Parents who invade their children’s bodies, private space, life, everything are a dime a dozen. But since the word “abortion” appeared somewhere in the story, Feministing will count it as a huge victory for feminism.
If you haven’t been reading this blog for a long time, I want to reiterate that I fully support a woman’s right to choose what happens inside her body. But only her own body, not her daughter’s, and definitely not to please some useless ne’er-do-well fella. Read the story in full to see what I mean.
Thank you, this is great
