Reproductive Rights on the Line?

Kim Anami
About this episode

Who's yo daddy?? 

“Oh no! Some old men won’t let me use my uterus the way I want to!” 

Every few years, this issue becomes a hot topic, and people get their panties in a bunch. 


Why on earth did you give your reproductive power to a bunch of old men? And to be fair, some women too. 

It always floors me to hear so-called feminists and “women’s rights activists” who claim to be all about women’s empowerment, lament how they have no power.  Because they’ve given it all away. 

There is another approach. 

You can maintain your reproductive sovereignty and control over your own body.  Let’s discuss: 

  • The illusion that someone else controls your body 
  • The constant in-doctor-nation telling women they need someone else to tell them what to do 
  • What does it look like to be an actual self and sexually empowered woman. 
  • Owning and taking responsibility for your reproductive and sexual sovereignty—the opposite of OUTSOURCING it to imaginary authorities.

NOTE: this episode is the audio replay of an Instagram LIVE I did. You can watch the video here
