Everyone with a uterus is a badass fucking being.

Since the beginning of adolescence - which by the way is confusing and hard enough as it is - we have to bleed, be in pain and go on an emotional rollercoaster every month. By the time we gain female forms we are looked at differently and treated accordingly.  Every day we face injustice and are being judged for being too bright, too dull, too hairy, too small or big breasts, wearing too much or too little clothing, make-up or no make-up, having an opinion or remaining passive, of wanting a family or pursuing a career instead, and so on. And as the entire society doubts and blames you, soon you learn to do it yourself.

The other day I filed a report to the police regarding sexual harassment. This is not the first time I've experienced such thing, but it is the first time I've acknowledged it in public. You'd think one would feel safer by alerting the police, but you don't. I was afraid before and I am still. And because of this fear, I even considered not filing a report - what if it only agitates him and provokes him even more?  Should I have left the blinds shut? Should I have worn longer pants at home? Did I smile at someone? Was I being too friendly?

Consider the female sex organ. It's all open, unshielded and vulnerable. And that is how we live our lives - open and vulnerable to exterior judgments and attacks. Yet a million women, despite country or adversity another could not comprehend, continues to live. We may be weaker in physics but hell we are stronger than anyone thinks. We have the sole power of receiving, sheltering and hosting a new being with our body. We do this for nine months, only to experience the most excruciating pain of childbirth, all so that humankind may proceed. We have patent on the gift of life. Ain't nobody can beat that!
