Hey All,
Enemies:
The enemy is poverty and the desperation it holds women in.
The enemy is a schizophrenic society that doesn't want birth control to be available in highschools and then is shocked when young girls get pregnant. IMO - that's sort of like staring down the barrel of a loaded 30 aught 6, pulling the trigger and then being totally stunned when you wake up dead with a slug sticking out of your face.
The enemy is a society that still holds women mainly responsible for procreation.
(Matter of fact I posted something on that and no one responded. Everyone must've been at the grocery store.)
Irkies:
Sometimes I'll read something and can't believe how ignorant a person can be. But on the irkies I really only have one. Every time I talk about how poverty was a deciding factor in my choice to relinquish, someone will inevitably post back to say how people like me are the exception and not the norm.
And its at that point that someone else on the triangle will invariably add a post backing that up and stating that poverty is the least acceptable reason for relinquishment.
I have to tell you.....THAT HURTS. THAT HURTS BAD.
Two people have even gone so far as to intimate that if they would've been in my shoes they wouldn't have done what I did.
Try reading that and not wanting to climb through the computer screen and choke the s**t out of someone.
