I think I just tasted a little bit of vomit in the back of my throat

Read this to find out why.

Thanks to Blue Milk (whose blog I love and can't recommend highly enough) and BitchPhD for the link.

When I read things like this, sometimes I can't help but think to myself, You know those cultures where women have abortions when they find out they are pregnant with girls, or commit infanticide when they see they birthed a girl? Maybe it's not that these mothers don't value their daughters so much as they want to protect them. Maybe they know what is in store for their daughters and think to themselves that it is abuse just to force life on a girl while living in such a world.
