CW: The MMIWG2S talk
How old were you when a relative told you how to escape from a locked car trunk, signal other cars from a car trunk, jump out of a moving car, get loose when you are cuffed, tied or taped etc?
How old do your daughters need to be when they learn these things?

Someone asked why Native parents let our daughter's get tattoos so young & for some Nations it's a cultural thing but for many of us it's also something else, something really heartbreaking that you can guess if you think about it

There really are grown women who not only don't understand the way being stabbed &/or strangled stays with you forever but don't even have any friends or family who understand what it's like
I don't wish it on them or anything, I just can't even imagine it

It's not your fault, you don't deserve this
It's wrong that we have to do so much to protect ourselves
