There have been some threads this evening about awful things happening to people's children, from the unthinkably, life shatteringly awful, down to bog standard awful. I look at my sweet innocent baby, and I think how she will suffer in life, whether through ill health, social issues, academic struggles, and when she gets older the pressures to look a certain way, and what boys in this pornified society often expect from girls, then sexism in the workplace, etc etc. I see so much pain in her future, I can try to prepare her for the world but I can't protect her from so many things.
