I am FURIOUS at the news reporting and the Judge in a local case.

A 6 year old girl was tragically and horribly murdered on a small island community in Scotland. The news reporting has been general has been considerate and somber until today.

“The judge said “its heartbreaking to think that poor girl could have grown up to be a mother herself””

WHAT THE FUCK

She could have grown up to be a WOMAN. You know? A person defined by her own existence? What the hell year is it right now?

Women - take note. If you’re a child, you’re a mother that just hasn’t matured yet. If you’re an adult, you’re a mother. That’s all you are.
