Milli Hill: I will not be silenced

I love Milli Hill’s work and know many other women on here do too. Check out her latest blog:

“But too many women have been silenced, and I don’t want to join them. There are conversations about women’s rights, women’s bodies, and the words we use to talk about women’s issues, which need to be had, but which have been made taboo in our current culture. And this is not healthy. Worse still, women like me have been used as an example to others of what happens to you if you raise questions. And others have seen these public draggings, and decided to keep quiet themselves. This kind of behaviour, in which dissidents are made a public example of in order to ensure compliance to dogma, does not have very good historical precedents. And yet it currently describes itself as ‘the right side of history’.”

I’ll also buy her books.

I feel so sad and angry that she has been treated this way.

Good for her in speaking out. A shame to see so many women in the birthing movement lacking in insight, empathy and ethics. Sad

I am not pregnant and never will be again, nor am I a mother to a pre-teen girl due to start her periods.

But I've just ordered two of her books, How To Give Birth Like A Feminist, and My Period: Find Your Flow and Feel Proud Of Your Period on the strength of that blog post and it's content.

I hadn't heard of her before but I'll be looking out for her work now. Bloody good for her for not lying down and letting the bullies trample and discredit her.

Only women give birth, it's so ignorant to deny it... I can't understand how how this madness has taken a grip so quickly.

Anyone reading this and saying women are not being silenced or attacked should take a hard look at themselves.

Can’t believe what I just read

We are under attack

That's a great, clear piece of writing. It's shocking that so many knowledgeable, experienced and committed women are being bullied in this way - by people who have achieved what?

Crybullies, the lot of them

Bloody brilliant. I was just coming here to post the same thing.

Good for her.
