Many #Autistic #Elder #Women who spent much of their lives #Masking, as well as those of us of any gender with #EatingDisorders might identify with a passage at the end of the original story of #TheLittleMermaid
by Hans Christian Andersen.
I know I do. I'll be quoting the passage in a reply to this post.
The new film ends in a very satisfying but different way: romantic love between humans and merpeople is possible, but the bonds of family are just as strong. Oh and by the way, just go and see it on the big screen. Worth it at any price.
But for those of us who found something to identify with in the predicament of the "fish out of water" who could not speak to explain herself or her importance... well, a lot of us don't make it to the age I have. I am blessed to have arrived at something like what's described below, but rest assured I'm still alive and kicking.

US doctor reprimanded, fined for talking about child’s abortion
Today in Labor History May 26, 1824: Women and girls led the first recorded factory strike in US history. 102 women and girls walked off the job at Slater Mill, in Pawtucket, and picketed their factory.
Two days prior, the owners had increased working hours by an hour per day with no additional pay. Additionally, they slashed the pay of power-loom weavers by 25%. Those affected were all women and girls aged 15 to 30. According to the bosses, the girls had already been earning “extravagant wages.”
The owners were caught off guard. They were not expecting a protest. Indeed, no U.S. factories had ever experienced a strike. Perhaps even more shocking, other workers and community members joined them in solidarity. They blockaded the mills and hurled rocks at the mansions of the owners. On the final day of the week-long strike, workers set one of the mills on fire. The next day, the owners agreed to negotiate and agreed on a compromise.

In vitro gametogenesis (expected to happen in 5–25 years) will give #women yet another tool to increase their reproductive options. (Not so much men — gay or straight — as a woman are still needed for gestation.)
Today, women don’t need a committed partner, or even a one-night stand. They can freeze their eggs and postpone maternity. They can get regular eggs from a donor for free (or the best ones paying money). They can get regular sperm from a donor for free (or the best one paying money; ie pick and choose a “father” online). They alone decide about abortion. They can have their partners raise a child that is not their own. They can give birth alone, leave “name of the father” blank on the form, and nobody even bothers to find out whether there might be an unwilling father out there, or questions the merits of deciding to raise a kid without a father.
Men can’t do any of that.
Talk about “reproductive rights”.
An artificial womb will the be biggest advance in favour of #men. It might be the great equalizer. Gestation will cease to be a burden, a risk, and a privilege exclusive to women. Imagine a single man becoming a father, and nobody even asking him “who’s the mother?” or “who donated the eggs?” (Sounds heartless, sad, creepy? It’s just what we have now, only with the sexes reversed.)
#ArtificialWombs are not expected to arrive any time soon, though.

"The South Carolina Senate votes to ban abortions after roughly six weeks of pregnancy. State Sen. Tom Davis (R) remarked,
“At some point in time, the right of the state to see the unborn child born does take precedent over the woman’s right to her body.”"

Rest in Peace , Anna Mae Bullock aka Tina Turner. She was one of the best selling artists of all time and one of the architects of soul, rock, pop, and so much more. She has been called the Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Tina’s powerful and provocative voice was only matched by her energetic and awe-inspiring dancing. She was a magnificent force in the world of music and other areas of the arts. She rose from poverty and abuse and lived proudly through her artistry. What an inspiration!

Six weeks pregnant does NOT mean 6 weeks after conception.
Weird, but true.
Medically, women are considered pregnant apx 2 weeks BEFORE actual conception.
Many women don't even know they're pregnant at 6 weeks.

"In March, five #women... sued #Texas after enduring medical nightmares when they were refused abortions for pregnancies that had gone awry. Since then, the Center for Reproductive #Rights says it has heard from dozens of women in Texas with similar accounts. And this week, eight more women, each with her own harrowing story, joined the suit, which asks a state district court to clarify the scope of emergency medical exceptions to Texas’ #abortion ban."

On this day in 1893, Anna Julia Cooper delivered a paper at the World’s Congress of Representative Women. She was one of five Black women invited to speak at the event, with an audience primarily comprising white women.
Anna was born into an enslaved family in America. At the age of 67 she earned a PhD. The 4th Black woman to do so.

@Are0h I think those traits - empathy, compassion, honesty - are essential elements to #masculinity. A #man needs to have empathy to have a sense of duty. A man needs honesty to have a sense of honor. And a man needs compassion to be a protector. Not to say these traits are exclusive to one gender or another. Expression of these traits may vary between #men and #women, but the traits are essential to both.

It is accepted that #CivilWar was a man's fight.

This conventional picture of #gender roles during the #CivilWar does not tell the entire story.

"Democratic lawmaker, Rep. Robin Bartleman, introduced an amendment that would have explicitly allowed doctors to induce or perform an abortion if a woman presents at a hospital with PPROM.
... stories recounted on the House floor demonstrating that doctors did not feel they could act in a PPROM situation.
The amendment was defeated by a party-line vote of 80-33."
