Mother's Day Brings Out the Worst

The worst in feminists, and leftists generally. What is so wrong with these people?

Good grief! I've had three kids and that didn't happen once. https://t.co/UGEihs31Bj

THE DAY I PEOPLE FOUND OUT I WAS PREGNANT WITH THING1 what was the day i ceased to be a person and became a vessel, a body without will

MY INTELLIGENCE
MY BRILLIANCE
MY TALENT
MY GALL
everything that could define my being, my brawn, disappeared in an ether of condescension

I WAS NOT TO BE TALKED TO
I WAS TO BE TALKED AT
i became the VERIFIED property of my spouse, carrier of his spawn, property of his tribe

MOTHERHOOD IN 'AMERICA'
Motherhood is an ideal they hold so high, so dear... it's more than an aspiration; it's a manifest destiny...

— Liza Sabater 🇵🇷👸🏾 (@blogdiva) May 14, 2017

MOTHERS IN 'AMERICA'
as complete human beings expressed in all their complexities?... what do you mean mothers are people?!?

— Liza Sabater 🇵🇷👸🏾 (@blogdiva) May 14, 2017

AMERICA
LOVES
THE IDEA OF
MOTHERHOOD
it hates,
nay,
it despises
MOTHERS
to the point of
denying our personhood
and our humanity

— Liza Sabater 🇵🇷👸🏾 (@blogdiva) May 14, 2017

MOTHERS
shouldn't be paid for their mothering
MOTHERS
shouldn't get all the health care they need
MOTHERS
shouldn't be trusted with choices

IF USA REALLY LOVED MOTHERS, if this nation really loved not just mothers but all womb-carriers as PEOPLE, motherhood wouldn't be an ideal

— Liza Sabater 🇵🇷👸🏾 (@blogdiva) May 14, 2017

IF USA REALLY LOVED MOTHERS AS PEOPLE we wouldn't have politicians giddy sending our babies to war

— Liza Sabater 🇵🇷👸🏾 (@blogdiva) May 14, 2017

IF USA REALLY LOVED MOTHERS AS PEOPLE we wouldn't have 50 million applauding into the White House a guy who bragged about sexual assault

— Liza Sabater 🇵🇷👸🏾 (@blogdiva) May 14, 2017

IF USA REALLY LOVED MOTHERS AS PEOPLE we would all have HEALTH CARE as the human right it is, regardless of employment or marital status

— Liza Sabater 🇵🇷👸🏾 (@blogdiva) May 14, 2017

IF USA REALLY LOVED MOTHERS AS PEOPLE you wouldn't rant about stay-at-home moms as 'welfare queens' but ensured we all had a basic income

— Liza Sabater 🇵🇷👸🏾 (@blogdiva) May 14, 2017

IF USA REALLY LOVED MOTHERS AS PEOPLE you wouldn't fight so hard to deny us & babies free health care, schooling, food, housing

— Liza Sabater 🇵🇷👸🏾 (@blogdiva) May 14, 2017

IF USA REALLY LOVED MOTHERS AS PEOPLE y'all wouldn't spend energy insulting me onhere instead of pondering all the ways y'all mistreat us

— Liza Sabater 🇵🇷👸🏾 (@blogdiva) May 14, 2017

IF USA REALLY LOVED MOTHERS AS PEOPLE you wouldn't belittle the labor of Mothering & penalize mothers in old age for those unemployed years

— Liza Sabater 🇵🇷👸🏾 (@blogdiva) May 14, 2017

IF USA REALLY LOVED MOTHERS AS PEOPLE you would never confuse employment with labor and use that to deny mothers social services in old age

— Liza Sabater 🇵🇷👸🏾 (@blogdiva) May 14, 2017

IF USA REALLY LOVED MOTHERS AS PEOPLE we mothers wouldn't have to defend our CHOICE of motherhood as proof of our will as free individuals

YET HERE WE ARE MOTHERING in spite of living in one of the most misogynist, woman-hating, feminine-loathing cultures in Human history

— Liza Sabater 🇵🇷👸🏾 (@blogdiva) May 14, 2017

YET HERE WE ARE MOTHERING in spite of living in a country where it is still up to debate whether it's a choice to be or not to be a mom

— Liza Sabater 🇵🇷👸🏾 (@blogdiva) May 14, 2017

TODAY IS MOTHERS' DAY but it would be every day Mothers' Day if we truly loved the people who become mothers and not just the idea

— Liza Sabater 🇵🇷👸🏾 (@blogdiva) May 14, 2017

I AM NOT AN IDEA
i am a woman, a person, an individual, who loves being a mom to my kids and loves mothering everybody around me

— Liza Sabater 🇵🇷👸🏾 (@blogdiva) May 14, 2017

MOTHERS AREN'T AN IDEA
we are beings in our complexities and contradictions. we are people. we are individuals. we have human rights too

— Liza Sabater 🇵🇷👸🏾 (@blogdiva) May 14, 2017

YOU CANT CLAIM TO LOVE MOTHERS, then find excuses not to support black, indigenous, trans, latinx, immigrant, muslim, poor, working moms
