I don't understand how men don't understand the horror of being stripped of bodily autonomy just because of your sex. Probably because it will never happen to them and they have a complete lack of imagination. We can compare it to being hijacked or kidnapped, we can talk at length about how our bodies are held hostage for 9 months and even liberal guys be like, well, yeah, but I never would have imagined woman would still be motivated by something that happened two years ago! They don't get it that Dobbs wasn't the end, it was the beginning and it's an ongoing horror.
