Dangling at the bottom of respect

Tweet

I grow you, I birth you, and my body can even feed you. Yet I am not equal or more superior than you. I loose wages being pregnant because I am tired as this human sucks the life from me and I feel as if I am disabled as my due date approaches. I loose at least six weeks of pay after birthing due to recovery. I loose working hours because daycare facility hours are limited. I loose sleep because it's a woman's job to raise that newborn human. I discipline and mold this baby into the future. Yet I am still disrespected by men, dangling at the bottom.
