6/30/2022

0 Comments

 
Hey Chickens! I received this message from fellow writer Kate Doucouré.  She has allowed me to reprint it here. I don't think there's much to add. This is a call for submissions - your chance to express yourself and help out with a fundraiser. Submissions are due by July 31st.
 
There's an email link below. Get to it!

Mother Warfare is calling all writers, web designers and artists: female, non-binary, trans, or female identifying, uterus havers or former uterus havers of all ages to contribute to the project Jess Mann and I have cooked up. Mother Warfare which will either be a website art/lit collection with a donation button to an abortion fund or several abortion funds- a purchase to print journal through amazon (or a better print on demand service) with all money going to an abortion fund/s, or a website and print edition.

Please submit poems, short stories, art work, comics, or essays about how you feel now that we've lost our rights, and musings along those lines. Previously unpublished and published authors welcome, first prints or previously printed works welcome! 

No payments for work, this is a fundraiser! 

Email submissions to: 
[email protected]

Below is my contribution:

I've never felt like a woman.
born with a muzzle on my face
am I really non binary 
or is it just the endless grooming towards woman that I detest
put a skirt on me 
and I can't run
our fashion binds and
keeps in place
endless thoughts about our face
our body 
things we can't change
and now we can't 
choose our life
child birth and parenthood 
is amazing but it eats up 
your choices
it's dangerous 
it kills
for centuries woman were the weaker sex not because we were less intelligent 
or couldn't handle pain
but because any time you got into a relationship you could get pregnant and DIE
or years wiped from your life feeding and caring for your child over and over as you pop babies out 
the revolution happened 
with birth control 
and abortions
no wonder they're 
taking it back
how do you stop woman 
from gaining equality?
make it impossible to 
chose what you spend 
your life doing
they groom us 
from small
to be quiet, not shrill, demure 
keep your legs together 
and constantly caretake everyone around you
they train us to take care of
men and not complain
and worry all the time if we're attractive to them
do we have a summer body?
In rejecting the dresses, the frill, the quiet voice- embracing the rage and 
not caring if i'm dainty 
or attractive 
am I non-binary
or anti patriarcy??
Fucking White Men
