So…Sweden.
I’m coming for yooou~ Coming to Stockholm/Uppsala in July!
“You’ll make up your mind!”
“All women want kids! It’s in our nature.”“You’ll eventually settle down and have kids, you’ve evolved to be this way.”
“Feminism has ruined women, you’ve devalued motherhood and neglected your maternal duties. Raising kids is a beautiful thing, you’ll see.”Just some statements that I’ve seen being said to women who speak about not wanting to have kids.
Alternates I’ve heard:
“Its different when its your own!”
“Your biological clock just hasn’t kicked in yet.”
“Just wait, you’ll change your mind.”
No. Frankly, even from a non-feminist point of view let’s everyone just stop for a second and think about ME as a mother. REALLY? How much do you hate children that you’d wish ME on them?
~WI’m gonna add on some stuff I hear aaaaaaaaalll the time from my grandma:
“Why haven’t you had kids yet, are you a lesbian?”
“Is something wrong with you? You should go to gynocologist, maybe you have cancer”
“Are you even trying?”
“You’re an old maid.”
“Pretty soon, you’re not going to be able to have any. You should think about that.”
People seem shocked when I tell them that my grandmother is verbally abusive towards my life choices. But hey, shes from a generation of birthers (and a very staunchy strict woman), and I am from a generation that is concerned about population control.
I don’t really understand why anyone’s verbally abusive about such things. What’re they going to do? Force you to get pregnant? Then what?
Actually that’s a terrifying thought, nevermind.
Not that I want to have children either, which is an issue compounded by inherited abnormalities that could pop up in my children. Don’t want any more people in my family with Lissencephaly thanks.

Back in Reykjavik and it is sunny and I am very tired because I slept poorly and snut nearly missed the plane. But I held it up by blubbing at the staff. All in all only four minutes late.
Got plenty of things to be getting on with, but this evening is for decompressing and cleaning the kitchen.
Edmonia Lewis (1845-1909) was an African American and Native American sculptor that would find success despite discrimination for her race and gender. She was an art student at Oberlin College and would excel in her courses but would later drop out after being accused of theft and poisoning two classmates; this led to a mob beating her up severely, only to have her acquitted of any wrong doing at trial. She would later move to Boston to further her education in sculpting. Her big break would come in 1864 with a bust she made of Colonel Robert Gould Shaw being widely celebrated and selling many copies; this would supply her with enough money to move to Rome. She would spend most of her adult career in Italy and became a highly paid and internationally respected sculptor.Two of her most notable works are: Forever Free and The Death of Cleopatra.

Auuggh, I loved this game so hard. I need to find more of the concept art for Kain, some of it was brutal.
