A theme I am seeing is that women who are radical feminists are the ones who are speaking about actual lived experiences. And that makes us "rude." Lordy. Old white men never tire is shooshing us.

“The only real experts on abortion are women,” read a leaflet distributed by Women’s Liberation. “Women who have known the pain, fear, and socially imposed guilt of an illegal abortion. Women who have seen their friends dead or in agony from a post-abortion infection. Women who have had children by the wrong man, at the wrong time, because no doctor would help them.”

Powerful.
