@DunnsOftheBuj Having empathy for a minor in that situation is completely compatible with acknowledging the facts of what happened. They’re not mutually exclusive
@tropicalmayhem7 Much less one who’s already been in controversies for “appropriating” other people’s work. Love her down but creators need to protect their intellectual property.
@AlexVivyNnabue I don’t think so. I like PBE but I know she’s not above being shady. And even if she didn’t know, she knows now, and she’s doubling down on her love for Juvia. That’s not the behavior of someone who didn’t know. Also, it wasn’t only Jackie that Juvia disrespected.
@AlexVivyNnabue You’re not wrong, because Jackie is dishonoring her values by promoting something who steals from black women, and when you support someone who hurts others, don’t be surprised when it comes back to you.
@AlexVivyNnabue Well trust me, the disrespect was LOUD. I doubt anyone in the makeup industry doesn’t know. And that “grace” everyone is giving to only PBE, that’s the problem. Why do we pick and choose which black women are okay to disrespect and which ones deserve to be protected?
@AlexVivyNnabue It’s unfair to hold only one of them to a higher standard. Whilst I’d expect Jackie not to side with Patrick because she claims she doesn’t tolerate stealing from black women, I think it’s unfair to expect her to stand up for Esther.
@AlexVivyNnabue I feel bad for PBE but she’s doing the same thing you are bashing Jackie for. Juvia’s place’s founder harrased and insulted Jackie and many other black women, platformed racist white influencers over the same black community that supported her, and PBE loves and supports Juvia.
@xm_muva She harassed and insulted several black beauty influencers, including Jackie and Alissa Ashley, here on twitter and then went ahead to platform racist Jeffery star after positioning herself as a black owned/pro-black business owner.
@FEmmanuel_31@Nchizzyy When people call men potential rapists, people like you are quick to say “not all men”, yet when a man actually shows he respects women’s consent and autonomy, people like you are convinced it’s a hoax. Which is it then? Is it all men or just men like yourself?
Being a woman is beautiful and in some ways, less stressful than being a man. If we look closely, we are so protected and loved.
Men deal with the world's disrespectful and cruel behaviour, while we get to remain in a space where we are relaxed, cherished and truly happy.
African girls are married off at 12, 13, 14 years old.
And the justification is always scripture. Always tradition. Always God.
A God who demands the childhood of girls is not a God worth worshipping.
@prettycritical Boy moms connect over their sons’ poor responsibility skills to feel a sense of superiority to girl moms, “Look, I’m a better parent than you, my son still lets me spoon feed him”. At the same time, they’re harder on female kids because they believe girls “develop differently”
