the shock of women’s blood

From today’s Halloween march, a shocking abortion rights protest, in which my sister participated.

In a venue of bloodied zombies and cadavers, men — mostly men — were shocked by this graphic use of uterine blood as protest.

It is revealing that a protest with uterine blood should be so shocking, as men usually have no problem with operations like war, that turn life to shit.

This gender protest cuts all the way through religion. Not just the cross and the land, but the land and the blood of women’s birth.
