it really, truly breaks my heart to hear very prominent 'feminists' on the radio saying that what defines a woman is whether or not you can become pregnant. this is just so obviously, brutally exclusionary and essentially takes womanhood away from so many women

This is a really great figure - it is so important to think more about what kind of language we use in our research papers. I would even extend this not only to pregnancy, but to reproduction generally.
