Why? Well, it all stems from the fact that women give birth. We are considered a "sacred vessel", lol, so to speak. <br /><br />Men, of course, and I'm not accusing any one man, but men basically always thought of women as property by virtue of the fact we carry their seed.

Seems the more explicit you are in your stories the more squeamish some people get. <br /><br />I do like to write non-fiction as well as fiction.

You're calling it right for sure. <br /><br />Women should be able to make choices in their lives the same as men. And other women should not judge them.
