I think I’m going to vomit. Ugh, ugh, ugh. Twisted, sick, deranged…

Brilliant and profoundly disturbing. This will stay with me a long long time. Thank you.

Oh Krista, you distilled Kalila’s article so well, and reading her words again within yours chilled me to the bone all over. I am still trying to figure out why the site would be called motherless and maybe it is just pure rage at women, all of us, but targeting where we all begin seems bizarre. But so did the case of Gisèle Pelicot whose husband drugged her and had dozens of men rape her, which opened up our eyes to what apparently is… a thing some men do, more men than we perhaps ever realized. Sigh.

And then treating it like a “kink.” Everything is so twisted! No sense to be made I guess

Thank you for this. I’m speechless.

Thank you for reading. We have to keep talking about it.

Yes. I just talked to my 52 year old son and he was shocked. This is beyond disturbing. Still processing how to address it.

I think it's called "Motherless" because such men bitterly resent their mothers (for whatever reason), and motherless is what they want to be. "Fuck you mum, I'll do what I want. And this is what I always wanted to do to you". All in all, happy I had a daughter......

Yeah I was wondering if it’s an act of just tossing off of one’s mothered state (as we all have have mothers) to make any of this seem acceptable. For if you had a mother, a sister, a daughter, surely none of this would be ok.

Proud daughter of girls here too. But I worry so much about what kind of life they are entering.

Helll yes, I worry about what the future holds for my daughter...... to the extent that I have apologised to her for bringing her into such a world.

This is beyond sickening and and a mother of 2 daughters I fear for their futures. So much more evil than we could ever imagine. Thank you for your potent writing.
