bell hooks is so funny: "I say this not to discredit her [Betty Friedan] work. It remains a useful discussion of the impact of sexist discrimination on a select group of women. Examined from a different perspective, it can also be seen as a case study of narcissism, insensitivity, sentimentality, and self-indulgence" => savage and hilarious

Women hate remembering illegal abortions because they almost died, they could have died, they wanted to die, they hoped they would not die, they were afraid of dying before and during and after; they have never again been so afraid of death or so alone. And women hate remembering illegal abortions because their husbands experienced none of this: which no woman forgives.

Women are humiliated by the memory of the fear. Women are humiliated by the memory of the physical intrusion, the penetration, the pain, the violation; countless women were sexually assaulted by the abortionist before or after the abortion; they hate remembering. Women are humiliated because they hated themselves, their sex, their female bodies, they hated being female.

Women keep quiet about abortions they have had, illegal abortions, because they are humiliated by the memory of those abortions; they are humiliated by the memory of their desperation, the panic, finding the money, finding the abortionist, the dirt, the danger, the secrecy. Women are humiliated when they remember asking for help, begging for help, when they remember those who turned away, left them out in the cold.

finally something happened!

omg so borrrrrriiiiiing

This is surprisingly badly written

J'aime beaucoup moins les moments où l'autrice rentre dans un registre plus journalistique avec des extraits de presse. Mais sinon, ça se lit très bien !

ok, la deuxième partie "écrire" est vachement plus intéressante !

quel ennui, dsl mais j'arrive pas à m'intéresser à sa famille
