I don’t usually get too political on this blog. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever been political on this blog.
HOWEVER, I read about this months ago in Savage Love and it sparked a fear in the world that even another nuclear arms race hasn’t sparked.
Here it is.
Essentially, what it says is that if you have received your menses, or are just about to finish, and everywhere in between, you are considered “pre-pregnant”. And if you are “pre-pregnant” you should abstain from certain activities, habits and proclivities. I think we all know in this day and age how quickly “should” changes to “have to”.
???
Seriously?
Does that mean I get to pre-retire?
How about pre-stop paying taxes?
Or if I’m over the age of 35 I get to be considered a pre-president?
I don’t think I’ve ever been so afraid in my life. I tend to be pretty self-centric when it comes to politics, if it doesn’t affect me personally I have a terrible tendency to put it aside for later, but this, this includes me whether I want it to or not.
Does this scare the bejeesus out anyone? And the ho-hum tone of the article?
Ack.

It's ridiculous and scary and makes me want to go through menopause so I don't have to be in the hands of the government. Seriously.
