Isn’t it funny how even in anatomical drawings and models, dudes just can’t resist stuffing a foetus into any available womb. As if a woman who doesn’t contain a life is as empty as an unfurnished room. As if her body is not complete without this addition. No wonder, then, that they see the rejection of this obligation as a strange perversity, a fundamental fault, like a hen that won’t lay, a cup that won’t hold water.
