you missed the point again. and i do know women who are pregnant. my friend is one of them. she is happily married yet frown upon. that’s where it’s become my business. i see how people even unknowingly make sly comments that hurt her so that i am able to see the bigger picture. maybe i was never aware of how even now people look down at women for being pregnant in general. now i am. you yourself might not realize this, but you’re making generalizations about pregnant women. me speaking about men was not to blame them solely but to point their tail end to this story since it is men that i’m dealing here with. And just because you would… “this”, “that” doesn’t mean other women are under your same circumstances. you are not all other women. if a woman HAS TO work in a place predominated by men, it doesn’t make it okay that they should step all over her. The smartest woman in the world can have a moment of passion. again, if a woman gets pregnant, it’s nobody’s business why or to make judgements. and your brain does not neccessarily need to be slow to get pregnant. So you say you were stupid. i’ve tried to have sex without condoms myself. i know better now. but because of where i’ve been i am more understanding of women who do get caught up in these situations. a woman should carry condoms. what if it rips? and just because there’s women who use their stuff to get to places does not mean mary jane over here is on her same boat. Also, what i think funny is that, unless you’re physically standing here with me, i don’t understand how you could possibly be able to know whether i’m doing something about the situation or not. unless you know me that is. the poem ends abruptly. it does not state… what took place after the fact. how do you know i mind being called a bitch? once, maybe, a long time ago i might been bothered, but i’ve come to realize in this world you have to be a bitch sometimes. i find the word quite amusing now. to hear it lets me know i’ve sunk my teeth. you have your right to your opinion. that you think women in these conditions lack inteligence or made bad judgements is fine. that you want to defend men by saying they are not solely responsible is okay too. in fact i agree. there’s amazing men out there but i am dealing with the ignorant ones at the moment which is what i can’t get you to understand. and on a much personal level because this situation affects a loved one of mine. this is not a petty argument. with you right now it is. something that was never my intent. but women have been fighting this one for centuries. now i understand.
