We let Willow cut her hair. When you have a little girl, it’s like how can you teach her that you’re in control of her body? If I teach her that I’m in charge of whether or not she can touch her hair, she’s going to replace me with some other man when she goes out in the world. She can’t cut my hair but that’s her hair. She has got to have command of her body. So when she goes out into the world, she’s going out with a command that it is hers. She is used to making those decisions herself. We try to keep giving them those decisions until they can hold the full weight of their lives.

- He raises a really great point. What would it mean to believe very early that my body was mine. That it’s not for anyone or for any particular purpose other than to be mine until I decide otherwise.

I was damned near 30 before I could believe my body belonged to me & me alone. Dear people who take an issue with this,
Let the Smiths do right by their babies & shut the fuck up about how you think they should parent.

My parents let me pick out my own clothes and do what I wanted to my hair. My mom still managed to pass on some of her body issues to me, but I never doubted my anatomy was my own autonomous island of self. Becoming an adult people tend to take issue with my attitude some times, that I don’t smile enough or don’t feel like they have a right to touch me, because my mother AND father raised an independent person, not a living doll.
Go Will & Jada.

I don’t want children
The last time I was around Evangelicals was my cousin’s graduation party. It was at the house of some former church friends and I thought I’d be fairly comfortable. I was in my early 20’s, recently out of a bad relationship. recently moved home cowed and miserable, and then the now-wife of my male step cousin somehow got into the “so when you havin’ babies” conversation with me. I told her I didn’t want to have children. She told me I was unnnatural, evil, and needed to pray more. Everyone at the party avoided me for the next couple of hours, basically shunning me.
So when I saw this on Post Secret, it really resonated with me. 
I don’t want children. I am a good person. I am a woman. My path will be the right one for me, and it will be the best thing for me.

We never talk about people who need or want abortions as living things. All the focus goes on embryos, because for some reason, they’re more important than the people who are carrying them.
