I don’t remember the original author of the quote but there goes a wise saying as follows:

“You don’t owe the world being pretty as rent for existing as a woman.” The same goes for reproduction, childcare, or any other unpaid labor.

By virtue of being human you are owed the bare minimum basic rights of dignity and respect to your personhood.

You never need to apologize for being a woman and anyone who acts like you do, especially if you dare not conform to their ideals, can go lick the bottom of a crusty shoe.

(And in case this isn’t clear; I mean ALL women. TERFs fuck off)
