Today's Group Project

During the group presentations today, Jada brought up a very point. She talked about how the house is seen as a feminine place because it shelters women. She also made a reference to a drawer and how it does the same thing. She went on to talk about how women have a womb, and that is, in a sense, home. A womb houses a baby. I thought about this a lot and realized that no matter what a woman does, she will have this house inside of here, always. She will always be physically a woman with something inside of her that's soul purpose is to shelter another human being. This made me a little sad, as well as claustrophobic because I know that I will always have this thing in me that makes me susceptible to oppression. Damn it! I do not dislike children by any means, this has nothing to do with that. I am just uncomfortable with the fact that my body is meant to house a human baby...Yeah it's weird to think about it that way. I love my Mom! Without wombs, no one would be here, so I'm not anti-womb. Gosh, I guess I don't have a point. I'm fine with being a girl, I just wish that gender wasn't an issue in today's world. It shouldn't be, but it is. Again, I love my Mom and all people and all things, and I do understand that no womb equals no people. I just wanted to make that clear :) I know somebody has to do it, I just wish that people with wombs (women) weren't viewed as weak because they have a womb. Yeah, I like that statement, I think that's my point.
