an angel loses its wings every time someone calls jane austen and the brontë sisters romance authors or that they even wrote the same genre. like. austen books are so satirical if you just know how to read and at least wuthering heights and jane eyre are so deep in moral and religious and philosophical questions (that austen books also kind of are but they do it in such a different way!) and they’re only been classified as romance because saying eg. that religion can be wrong or that men should not have absolute power over other’s lifes and that people can grow and change and forgive and become better together was maybe too radical in the 1840s. and i mean they have some themes in common but then i could also call star wars romance movies because they have romance in them.

It is crazy to me how many cis dudes are like “My S/O got pregnant and got an abortion without my input/permission and this is a worse portrayal than being cheated on and I am absolutely justified in treating her like garbage after I impregnated her without her permission.” especially when the S/O is just a casual girlfriend and/or has bluntly told him they don’t want kids. I am of the firm belief you do not get to decide what someone does with your sperm after you deposit it in their body, you cannot force them to keep a pregnancy or to abort a pregnancy and having the intent to do so makes you a fucking supervillain. You can inform them you’ll be there financially and would like to coparent if they’re open to it OR you can tell them you have no intention of being a father and will not be in the child’s life but you do not get to control the decision.
The fact your girl did not tell you she was pregnant and had an abortion means she thought you were both clear on not wanting a kid at this time OR she knew you would be a massive fucking asshole about the whole thing. These guys treat it like a personal insult and a wound that someone they’ve been casually fucking for 4 months does not want to go through 9 months of pregnancy and have their baby.
A tiara is a backward symbol of how women are only valued for their beauty. And now that I’m wearing one, I don’t care. I look awesome, and it’s super sparkly!
