There's such an overabundance of shame reserved for women. If she terminates, shame. She keeps the baby, shame. She loses the baby, shame. Can't conceive, shame. Has only one, shame. Has many, shame. Leaves baby with caregiver to work, shame. Doesn't work to care for baby, shame

I take children seriously. Ask about their feelings, drop down to eye level so I can actually look them in the eyes, listen patiently even when they're rambling, remember details they share so when next I see them & bring it up, their eyes light up because they feel seen & known

Mothers can teach their children that chores aren't gendered and all but you know how children learn? By observing. They watch their parents. And if dad doesn't actively participate, they look foward to being a dad who doesn't participate too. Even if they did chores growing up.

I saw RMD at an award show and I was sooo excited, telling my friends how he was my Sunday school teacher back in the day. lol why did one of them say: well, I too would've given my life to Christ if he taught me Sunday school😂 So "starstrucked", I kept trying to sneak a selfie

Anger is a response to injustice. The systemic inequalities women face, that I face, are UNFAIR & UNJUST. I am angry, legitimately so. I'm an ANGRY FEMINIST. Where did you get the idea that my primary duty is to be nice & not offend you as I address injustice? Are you playing?

This is what happens in a society where, instead of holding perpetrators responsible for their choice to cause harm, we blame the victims for not doing enough to protect themselves. And it's going to get progressively worse if there are no consequences for this type of behavior.

I've been struggling with how to frame this but I'm prioritizing the potential benefits over the risk of being misunderstood. Your child should be using you to practice saying no so they already have that skill when they meet predatory adults. Compliance isn't always a good thing

They NEED firm boundaries. They NEED to be checked. They just happen to also desperately NEED connection, which is what they're looking for with their peers, hence the risky behavior, which is why we're mad at them & then disconnect from them, which is sorta kinda why we're stuck

Misogyny, as a byproduct of patriarchy, is a largely unconscious practice. Growing up embedded in a culture means we, by default, internalize & perpetuate the customs & norms of that culture. We’re all implicated, even if we’re not aware of it, until we consciously opt out of it

"How dare you like yourself? You're looking out for you? Who do you think you are??? You're supposed to be selfless..." To them, they're not wrong for looking out for themselves & not looking out for you. But you, you're the terrible person for looking out for yourself.

So, if I understand you correctly, you're fighting for your right to violate another person's bodily autonomy, because based on your personal assessment of right vs wrong, they did/wore something that makes them deserving of harm? And you're telling me you're not a rapist?

If your 17 year old hasn't learned the difference between a systemic problem and a personal attack I'd say there's more to worry about. Perhaps he can benefit from learning to decenter himself?

You're a pastor, yeah? Of your Nigerian pastor colleagues whose spouses are deceased, tell us which ones stayed alone and which ones remarried. List them for us, one after the other, please. Then ask yourself why you glory in disparaging women and how that pleases God.

You mean rather than listen to how they actually feel, as in their own experience that they experienced themselves, that you did not experience oooo, you'd shut them up and insist that your own perception of their reality is more accurate? Interesting 🤔

Imagine not being able to admit to being jealous? Perhaps you don't realize that feelings are meant to be felt? Between the feeling and your response is where the work is. You can choose what to do with the feeling, but you can't "unfeel" it. Feelings don't have morals.

See how a fellow man is holding him accountable for his behavior? Hand on shoulder, even. Spelling out the consequences HE brought upon HIMSELF with HIS own choices. Not blaming the victim or making excuses. Look what YOU did & how that affects others. That's what we need more of

Spoken like a Nigerian parent. Dismissive, reductive, refusing to consider that as well intentioned as you are, you can still cause harm. Plus gaslighting and verbal abuse. You even added a diagnosis sef "you guys are not alright". This is exactly what we're talking about.

Young Nigerians gathered, protested peacefully, prayed, donated, cleaned up, even got their parents to join them, asking the government to put a stop to police brutality. And our government responded with guns. The #EndSARS protests were peaceful.

Tweets like this make me sad because blind obedience and submission to a husband's decisions, against one's better judgement, is how most women are socialized. The way those of who have the privilege to exercise personal autonomy speak to and of those who don't is just...
