Help me ob-gyn kenobi, you’re my only hope.

I really hope everyone reblogging this followed the link and read the article, because it’s larger point is really good “Reproductive health and childbirth is a crutch, and Lucas gets away with it because his audience accepts that these things are mysterious and cannot be intervened with the way that that the loss of limbs can be remedied with robot prosthetics, or the way Luke can be rescued from near-death on Hoth by being submerged in a bacta tank. Having babies is worse than being mauled by a wampa ice creature or being chopped up by lightsabers and falling into a river of lava. Lucas can write a world like that, and worse, the audience will accept it. But uteruses aren’t made of malignant magic. Women’s bodies are real physical things that can be studied and understood and when necessary, cured. ”

Help me, OB-GYN Kenobi.

Reminds me of this one post online about how there was an orc whose name was Brick. Orc culture in that setting was to be named after what they could break. Brick was a therapist, and one day wished his name to be Depression.
I mean if he’s having trouble getting any sleep I can think of a few ways to sleep permanently
