Dang! I bet all the downvotes came from people who just saw the picture and moved on. This is a really important part of the post that was obviously missed.

Misogynistic dummies like Mehmet are far too common.

    but there are many uteri bearers who ALSO went through unconsensual pregnancies and have scarring just like this till this day.

    We have to address the problems of lack of access to sex ed, sterilizationsz abortions and birth controls in all parts of the planet before we can comment as to someone's 'choice' of if they fuck up their body with a pregnancy

    Cause for all we know....maybe she's one of those ladies ? 🤷🏿‍♂️ Nobody here knows her personally so what can we comment about her until we address the fact that most people with uteri on Earth dont have access to reliable sex ed, abortive services, sterlilizations and birth controls?

    Nothing we can say to people with uteri like this UNTIL we completely , deeply and thoroughly address this very glaring issue of lack of access.

    Oh I don’t disagree with you at all. All people should have access to birth control, family planning, sterilization if wanted, etc.

    My comment was aimed more at what seems to be drive by downvoting. Folks saw the image in the post but skipped the message OP left underneath it, so they don’t have a full understanding of the intention. Women are shamed for having kids and shamed for not having kids, we are just shamed for existing at times too. Men like Mahmet in the image are exactly the kind of misogynists you are referring to, the type who shame women for things that can beyond our choice. I mean, I still have stretch marks from growth spurts as a young girl, those have never gone away.

    I feel a lot of folks see this is a childfree community and downvote immediately without actually reading posts or thinking about context. I’m sure it’s in part of the toxicity and cringe that can exist in the reddit version, but I haven’t seen that in this community so far. And I didn’t see the OP as judging women, I saw it as judging the misogyny coming from Mahmet.
