Beyond hot takes and joining trending conversations, it is important that we draw sober lessons from this collective experience, not out superiority or vindictiveness, but out of empathy and equality. 1.

When I was with this guy as a teenager/in my early twenties, where I drew the line was he hitting me. He never did hit me, but he messed me up on so many fronts. He messed up my self esteem, he manipulated me, he gaslit me into thinking I was crazy and undesirable, he

Special Ops: Lioness I stopped watching this movie because it’s just bullshit wrapped up as “feminism.” It’s liberal feminism plus US nationalist and capitalist propaganda.

Women, please be clear what you want from your relationships with men. I think it pays women to be clear about what they want from relationships with men. It has saved me from so much hassles and it’s a huge red flag when you ask for your interaction to be defined and the other party

BRIDE PRICE is referred to as lobola in the southern parts of the continent, mahari in East Africa, wine carrying among tribes in West Africa, and owó orí among the tribe I come from (Yoruba). I remember quite well how my Yoruba teacher gave me my first lessons on marriage customs and traditions in
