Worlds Colliding!

...or rather, the same small world, with one group of people extremely far away from and out of touch with the other group exerting their influence over the lives of the other group in ignorant ways. Meaning, governing bodies and persons in the US telling women in Kenya how they can and cannot deal with avoiding or getting rid of pregnancy. 

We all know that is one of my least favorite things. 

On the other hand, a couple of my favorite things are that things are getting better for these women, even if progress is too slow for my liking, and that people are writing about them in interesting, entertaining articles. 

Favorite quote: "Governments that operate under the false assumption that women either don't have sex outside of marriage or always want children inside of marriage, and if they don't meet those two criteria, then they deserve to be punished for their transgression with forced pregnancy and childbirth aren't only deluded, they're killing women with their delusions. And the world would be better for it if the men in charge agreed to legislate reality rather than an impossible ideal."

Word.
