I want to be treated like a full human being and am prepared to demand it.
I am tired of commercials that present menstruation as something so filthy and shameful that the only way I can redeem myself is to buy their bleached out toxic tampons and pray that no one can tell.
I am tired of whispers to the effect that what I really need is a good fuck.
And I am tired of being tired. I want to wake up fully and shout about things. I want to raise my son in a different kind of world. If, as A. Rich points out in her essay "When We Dead Awaken" we are sleepwalkers, unleash the cold water. It might save us from walking off a cliff.
Yes! I want to read more from Real Life Heartless Bitches
