carnivaloftherandom: Having the franchise when one’s body/sexuality/sexual agency/safety are considered articles of political warfare, is little more than cold comfort.  I can vote, but if the people I vote for choose not to represent constituents because it is politically expedient NOT to fight for those constituents’ rights: what is the point?  This is global. This is not just about women. This is about anyone whose life/being/body/rights are considered to be at the pleasure of the state.  Until we are all free, none of us are free.
