    Pregnancy has been traditionally defined as the period of time eggs are incubated in the body after the egg-sperm union.[1] Although the term often refers to placental mammals, it has also been used in the titles of many international, peer-reviewed, scientific articles on fish, e.g. Consistent with this definition, there are several modes of reproduction in fish, providing different amounts of parental care

    Going off of this, it’s just a matter of the term “pregnancy” being co-opted to describe something completely different from what it means in its original context. As does happen, even in science.

    Hey, now and then, I hear the suggestion that women’s suffrage should be removed. Sometimes even from women that have totally bought into the patriarchy. Still, as far as I know, that opinion remains far from mainstream (thank goodness).

    Honestly, there’s still a lot of leftover shit from the Civil War that’s still affecting politics. And that’s almost 70 years older than the 19th Amendment.

    So while I agree that Women’s Suffrage is hardly sensitive, age seems to have little to do with it.
