Earlier in this pregnancy, I filled out my “Initial Health History” form for prenatal and birth care. You know: check the box if you’ve experienced severe headaches, diabetes, all sorts of things.

Moving and important.

I tried to explain all this to husband once and unfortunately he didn’t get it. I don’t understand why this is so difficult for cisgender men to get but hopefully this article can explain it better. This is still rape culture, even if you’re lucky enough to not have been raped.
