Yup. And any desire to have this real discussion of this real issue means you are a heartless monster who wants children to starve. There have been a few occasions where I've been able to tell people about how our as is system simply deepens the poverty pit and dependency; but far more often I get an emotional attack that redirects and re-frames the discussion to my lack of personal experience as a directly corollary to someone else's PERSONAL experience, therefore making any assertions outside of said PERSONAL (Exclusive to one other person on earth) experience, invalid. Likewise, my inability to get pregnant negates my ability to speak on contraceptives in any manner ect.
I really hate this notion of needing to parade the most 'authentic' voice of anything in politics. Most egregious in my opinion is the flying the survivors, anti-gun only, of mass shootings around the country.
Emotion and PR blackmail to shut down any real discussion of any real issue.
