8. Male allies, relax--we're grateful--

--but realize how exhausting and infuriating it is for women to face this battle yet again. The bodies we live in are viewed by some men as utensils, as prey items, as trophies, as incubators, as anything they project onto them. And human male primates have always sought to control female reproduction. But women won't go back to allowing society or religion control us. We may appear loud and rude in our response to attempts to take us back to the bad old days. Overreaction is natural when you consider how oppressed women have been in the past. Not apologizing, just explaining. Again, thanks for being on our side!
