GIRL. STOP WITH THE EUGENICS.

how can y'all say it's a feminist lit. when then all that it boils down to is being a mother and SURE. for keeping up a matriarchal utopia, you gotta reproduce and keep it alive and all that stuff but what. is that all??? that's all she had to say??? ... I'm giving it one cuz truly i think it deserves NONE, but that feels too mean.
how could she wrote such a good, eye catching short story with a crazy woman that i LOVE and then also this crap (imo). how.

it wasn't a good idea to read this while my heart still aches. but i had to.

Copak nestačí, že ty jsi mi padl? Víš ty, víte vy, co to je ztratit muže? Kdybys věděl, co ze mne zbylo – Co jsi mi to udělal, člověče, jak jsi se mohl nechat tak zbytečně zabít!

yeah, fuck it. just rip it out and squeeze it in the cruel palm of yours. why not.

(i liked it though) 🌟

We do not talk of women's emancipation as an act of charity or out of a surge of human compassion. It is a basic necessity for the revolution to triumph. Women hold up the other half of the sky.

what a wise man. his words are so truthful and could be applicable to this date. rest in peace, man.
