Hatred for Women
Some couples decide that the husband should be in the hospital room to support the wife when the child is born. After all, it takes two to tango. It is also believed men will appreciate their kids more if they know how they came into this world. But most of all, it’s assumed they’ll love their wives more when they witness how ‘they put to bed’ to use the Nigerian phrase.
In highly religious and traditional societies, it’s women only in the space where the woman is fighting for her life, to give birth to what is later called: a bundle of joy, heir, prince or princess. Men wait anxiously outside, while midwives do their job, assisted by women family members. India is the biggest film producer in the world. I once saw a Bollywood movie where a woman working in a field, felt labour pains. Women working with her formed a circle with their saris, while women inside the circle helped her bring a human being into this world.
Conception is two people, a man and a woman, but the result is public, a pregnant woman. However, how women ‘put to bed’ still happens in private, in nomadic, religious and traditional societies. It is supervised by women. Women teach the new mother how to nurse the little one and how to get her body back.
Trans gender is hatred for women. That’s why the woman’s body is dissected on television by men who claim to be women. Menstruation, a very private natural process is sifted and weighed to ‘prove’ that men are women and could get pregnant. A male teacher in Oakville Ontario, wore fake breasts to class because he said he was a woman. He did not wear them outside school.
Discussing menstruation in public makes a mockery of mothers’ fear when teenage daughters wake up crying because they messed up sheets for the first time. In hushed tones, mothers explain what is happening to their bodies and that warning: BE CAREFUL. Trans gender is hatred for women, because there are no girls ‘transitioning’ to be boys, and demanding to be in male prison cells and changing in male locker rooms. Therefore mothers’ warning BE CAREFUL does not matter, because the danger is in-house. Nature is wrong for making male and female.
