Never forget that his Dad graduated from MIT and his Mom from Harvard. He would probably be curing cancer if he wasn’t so good at hitting baseballs far

Some women be like "most men are misogynists but women shouldn't give up on romance we can't die alone" but if you already accept that most women can't find a decent man why do you perpetuate the narrative that not having one means dying alone? that’s why i call you male centered

Remember when nerd also implied you were smart / intellectual? I’m seeing a whole lot of “nerds” but not a whole lot of intellectuals so how that work?

The glorifying of women dying in pregnancy in the name of a preferred deity is a disgusting theme among religious fanatic anti choicers.

Forcing women to carry pregnancies against their will & demanding that women carry to term or die, is barbaric.

Women owe no one their lives.

[Teema @Beymegz]

It can't be the same god that allows sexual slavery of women that you're talking about. Maybe you worship a god different from the one described in the Quran.

Men want free sex with woman and dump them while God wants them to get marry and provide and protect them

Immigrants in Nigeria who are sponsored by their companies to work in the country tend to have more rights than locals. The Europeans in O&G, Lebanese in hospitality and FMCG, Asians in construction and FMCG, etc.

These people are usually called “expats” and some of them have been in Nigeria for many years.

I still don’t think many people have clocked how massive this story actually is.

Thames Water is carrying £19.8bn of debt, up 2 billion in a single year, and it will run out of money before Christmas.

£19.8bn against 16 million people who cannot switch, can’t leave, and cannot stop drinking water.

That’s about £1,240 per head. 5 grand for a family of four. In some way, shape, or form, they’re on the hook for it.

That’s the part that I don’t think has landed yet. This isn’t a story about sewage in the Thames, or bonuses, or another regulator caught asleep. The actual event is 30 years of a monopoly being used as collateral by people who knew its customers could never walk away. The bill has now come due… and it’s a big one.

The pipes and the infrastructure were never the real asset. The 16 million captive water drinkers were.

What’s going to really sting is the fact there’s only two ways this gets settled. Your bill goes up, substantially, or your taxes do. Most likely both, and it’ll be on a schedule designed in a way so you don’t notice the hit, in an attempt to suppress the rage you should rightly be feeling.

And before anyone tells me the creditors are taking a 30% haircut, look at what they’ve asked for in return. Fines waived until 2030. Pollution targets “significantly modified.” Bills raised above what the regulator allows. That isn’t exactly them eating the loss now, is it. That’s them buying a regulatory holiday, on debt most of them bought at distressed prices.

Nobody voted for this, nobody borrowed it, and nobody saw the benefit of it. The debt was loaded onto a captive customer base over 30 years and paid out to shareholders who have long since gone.

16 million people are about to find out that they co-signed something they were completely unaware of.

Now, this is what should worry us all. Thames isn’t a rogue outlier, it’s just the first one to fully hit the wall. English water carries north of £60bn of debt. Southern is already junk rated, needed a £1.2bn rescue from its shareholders, and its customers are looking at a 48% bill rise this decade before you count what the CMA added on top. Every one of these companies borrowed heavily when money was free and now have to refinance it all in a world where it isn’t, while being told to spend billions on infrastructure they left rotting for 30 years. Thames is just the first and most visible of what will likely end up being a line of dominoes.

Maybe Burnham nationalises Thames Water. But ask yourself… how many more will need to be nationalised? And who do you think pays for that?

This is what happens when capitalism is unregulated, it reverts to feudalism.

I'm so sorry.

[kaz @L4MBROT]

I hate my mother SO much yet I cant bring myself to stop "loving" her. Sounds stupid. I've been beaten for not smiling enough, not talking to her, for acting too grown, for acting too childish, for trying to make her see my side, for being sick... im over it tbh but not really.

[Teema @Beymegz]

This is great Misogyny is a form of Oppression that means nothing to you. Africa has enough Misogyny at home, we really don't need imported ones for any reason.

[- @DaughterOfEri]

For the continent of Africa the only religions I think should be practiced (outside of our indigenous African religions) are Sufism and Orthodox Christianity as these sects of Abrahamic religions have not conquered or destroyed us

[mami @feministevee]

The point of feminism is to disabuse women of the notion that "men are just like that"—that they should accept that violence is the only male language of communicating . If feminists accepted that men are "just like that," our response would have been resignation, not resistance.

[Goddess ✨ @TheeGoddessHQ]

@JustMeJenn45887 Everyone babies straight women. It’s annoying. They would never switch places with lesbians. They just say rubbish online when their love lives are in shambles. Once they meet another benevolent patriarch, they go back to fulfilling all the misogynistic roles expected of them.

[hime-sama🍉 @8dlotus]

they see women in prostitution as less than human and viable outlets for male violence and rape, essentially punching bags for males to get their energy out and then continue being "normal" members of society

[★彡 @missguided_____]

why are yall always adultifying little black girls and setting them up to get stereotyped by racists

[lu @hilosfemi]

child marriage,rape, prostitution,porn, revenge porn, teen pregnancy are all resoult of male sexuality so yea maybe it should
