my (your) body is a garden filled with thorns

Meanwhile in Arkansas, women now legally require explicit permission from the father of the fetus to abort it, even if that male was a domestic abuser and/or rapist.

I personally think it's SUPER when I have to ask my rapist for permission to do something to my own body. This will in no way compound the trauma and reinforce the idea that I deserved to be assaulted because my body's purpose is to provide pleasure at the whim of men.
