Yawn. I’d be more excited to see a man get pregnant with the devil’s baby. I mean it’s the devil so why not? Oh yeah, because the real fear has to do with reproduction and women’s bodies. We get it guys you’re disgusted by our human bodies.
“[T]he Mystical Pregnancy [is] a type of reproductive terrorism because it makes becoming pregnant seem disgusting, frightening and nightmarish… [P]regnancy and birth are natural processes that are being distorted into torture porn, ways of punishing women and exploiting their terror to up the dramatic stakes.”
This trope can’t just be brushed off as “just entertainment.” Human beings since the beginnings of the verbal storytelling, used narratives to understand ourselves and the world around us. When we hear a story repeated enough times it can affect the way we think about reality. The Mystical Pregnancy is just another sexist narrative that exploits women for being “female”.”
