Carried: Ovary Problems (I)
“Being a woman was treated as the lesser thing in my house, so I turned against that part of myself before anyone else could.”
It shows as a quiet war on one's own femininity and creative force, a reflex of self-denigration learned where the feminine was mocked, used and held cheap. The shame arrives as if it were one's own verdict; it was issued by a household that ran on contempt for women. The ovary is a site here, not a diagnosis. What it asks for is to stop prosecuting the very part that was scorned, and let it be worth something.
Vashti, the queen commanded to display herself before a hall of men, who refused and was deposed for it, her dignity counted as an offence. The form implies a task: to keep the part they wanted you ashamed of.
