Funny how someone asking for my support says this:
'Also, if your gender makes it impossible for you to become pregnant and carry a foetus inside your body without resorting to science and surgery, then you must expect that your opinions on a woman's right to choose when and whether to reproduce will NEVER carry as much weight with me as an actual breeder's opinions. For you, it's abstract. For us, it's real.'
And then asks for restraint- this is restraint in comment, is it?
Has she any idea how much this hurts a woman who cannot reproduce? Does she think it's really any less real? How much the lack makes me ache?
