How it feels to be forcibly fed
People surrounding her watching her making sure she doesn’t leave (four men following her)
She was very white and weak, needed help upon a table
Wrapped her up tight in a sheet so she could not move(up to her throat)
Sprayed nostrils with cocaine and disinfectant (can tell its older days)
Wanted to make sure she could swallow
“the doctor hung, a devlish, inhuman menance” which was the IV tube that contained her liquid food. Inside it was milk a red tube with a funnel at the end went through her nose into the passages of her throat
The four men held her down
The liquid was ice cold, and soon after her forehead filled with the same coldness of sweat
She started seeing the room moving
She began to faint
Science deprived us of the right to die –
Would the doctors let the person choke on the liquid food, or help them and stop the liquid?
“isn’t there any other way of typing a person up? That thing is like—“
“yes I know” gently said the doctor
feminist manifesto
woman is the equal of man but she isn’t.. a man who has to live his life confined to a code isn’t a man hes un masculine woman who adapt to the customs and stereotypes of a women aren’t feminine don’t depend on a man to tell you what you can and cannot do, you have to leave it up to yourself to start something new and figure out who you are.
Pretty much the success of a woman is because of the man
A woman can get anything from a man with nothing in return but her virginity (so sexual pleasure when he wants it) she can get any luxious item without having to work or giving the man children
A woman who doesn’t take up that offer isn’t allowed to have children

Women would constitue a danger
Reckless movement
(what the men believe) women worked in factories sewing

Asked for justice and equality guaranteed forever

Force feeding scene:
