"Like rape victims, women who are victimized during birth are made to feel responsible for the act itself. They are told that it has to be this way, or that their baby will die if it isn’t done this way. Sometimes, they aren’t even given the opportunity to say no, as they are (like Pam) held down against their will. Later, they are told that they were bad, and it had to be done. Coercion is a tactic that many assailants use.
The result of these experiences can be life-long. These traumatic birthing experiences bring about more cases of post-partum depression (PPD), and sometimes even post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Some women choose to not have more children, while others just live with the lie and pretend that everything is fine."

"Being a transgender woman and hearing someone call you a he/she as they repeatedly strike you is meant to further remind you that are less than nothing. This is a message that our so-called black leadership internalized, as the voices of Jesse Jackson and camera-whore Al Sharpton were strangely silent."

"Of course by 'objectionable', Google means 'sexual'. [stormfront], [nazi], and [white power] all auto populate, and searches on those terms high rankings to stormfront.org, americannaziparty.com, and whitehonor.com respectively.
It is an incredible slap in the face. Yeah, I get it. Google wants to stay out of hot water, and so they don’t want their 'Google Suggests…' pointing anyone to boobies (much less cunts and cocks.) But Nazi skinheads? No problem there."
