It's The Day Of Independence, Bitchfaces...
And I'm here to spread a little fuckery about it.
Well, I hope everyone still has most of their fingers. Clearly, I do, as I’m here babbling to you folk.
In light of recent events, I’m not going to do my usual T totally out of fucking control 4th I usually do. However, we are still in the land of the free, and say what you want, but your bitch ass needs to thank a soldier. They didn’t do all this other fucking nonsense of late.
To my guys (and ladies) here, current and former military, I fucking love y’all six and a half tons. I couldn’t be this ballsy in any other place, and I know this. Pissy about some other bullshit or not, I know where I reside. I also know my life would be much different if it weren’t for the people who protect these freedoms I stand and rant about every day.
So, in an effort to have a little looksy into what life would be like without our freedoms here, let’s revisit.
The 5 Worst Places In The World To Be A Woman
Because what’s a holiday without me causing an international incident?
We like to believe that, as women, overall, we have really kicked a dent in this life. We’re getting shit done, we’re narrowing the wage gap, we’re just as educated as our male counterparts.
We can own property, vote, get a divorce, obtain custody of our children, work in essentially any field we choose, and study in those fields as well. We’re a real bunch of go getters, us Western women.
However, don’t pat yourself on the back just yet. We are still a far cry from equality. Here, in the Western world, we enjoy almost every freedom that a man has. But there are some places that are simply hell to experience, and some not even worth getting off of the damned plane if you’re a woman.
We’re still being raped, beaten, tortured, forced into marriage, and ordered around by our male counterparts in many places. However, there are a few that just really roll my damned stomach with their lack of chivalry.
So, before I start an international incident with my opinions of these shitholes, let’s get to the damned countdown.
5. Yemen
52% of girls are married before the age of 18. In addition, the literacy rate for women is just at 35%. That’s in addition to the fact they can’t get a divorce or be awarded child custody. But, that’s really the small shit. If we’re going to talk about Yemen, can we say that women are discouraged from getting so much as a simple identification card?
Why should they though? They can’t go anywhere, they can’t work, they can’t honestly do much other than be married off and forced to breed. Well, there’s always dying in childbirth to look forward to. 6 women in Yemen do so every single day.
4. Egypt
80% of young women, aged 15–18, have experienced female genital mutilation.
Let me run that back really quickly. 80%. Female genital mutilation.
What in the actual fuck is taking place over there? Ooh, ooh, pick me I know. They’re actually working on a law that allows men to have sex with their dead wife's bodies for up to 6 hours after their death.
Yeah. You gotta fucking be kidding me.
Oh, my inbox is open, Egyptian angry men. Last time it was “leaving my tits on the table for my mother to find”, so best that one.
3. The Democratic Republic of Congo
In 2011, 2 million women had been raped in the Democratic Republic of Congo. 70% of women there think a man can be “justified” in beating his wife.
Female mutilation, child brides, just general atrocious conditions for women.
2. Saudi Arabia
This is just another notch in the Saudi affront to women that has been taking place there since the literal beginning of time. Still no rights, still worth half of the word of a man, still being beaten, assaulted, tortured, and all the other fun shit they’ve been doing to women, without any apologies at all.
Honduras
In Honduras, a woman is killed every 18 hours. Of every day. Without a day off, holiday, vacation, or sick day. No, not even Flag Day. They’re the literal femicide capital of the world. Not the worst part of this rathole though.
There are 3 shelters for rape survivors in Honduras. However, 2 of them double as brothels.
Yes, you fucking read that right. Brothels.
Honduras is the epitome of the bowels of hell for a woman. In terms of shitholes, this is the shittiest of all.
So, although it doesn’t make our plight any easier, let’s be thankful we don’t reside in any one of those backward ass ratholes. We can still get up and choose to go against the grain, much like your Queen chooses to do every single day. Never stop fighting. Never give in. Otherwise, we might be the next group of women who can’t own property or get to have our dead bodies fucked by our husbands for 6 hours after our death. Yeah, I’m talking to you, Egypt.
Today I'm celebrating Interdependence Day because we all better fucking learn to work together or this experiment in democracy is over.
Keep going A!
