There is a way you will be so utterly useless that no sane person will be able to string together a collection of sensible words in your defence. That is APC
You don’t want to identify as a “feminist”, because you’re a christian and being Christian is enough. No problems. In fact, I hear you.
However, the responsibility is now on you to speak boldly and directly against misogyny and patriarchy using our Christian persuasion from the holistic understanding of scripture.
It should be very easy to do that. Start from the church and spread the message everywhere else.
Teach on the equality of their worth before God. Teach that the women and children department, serving puffpuff,etc is not an exclusive office for women, the women should also preach, teach, disciple God’s people and start full gospel ministries as God leads.
Teach on single men respecting the boundaries of women and not feeling intimidated by their ambition and success.
Teach how headship in a home is not for subjugation but sacrifice and a desire to die for your wife in a heartbeat.
Teach women that submission IN A MARRIAGE is NOT a relinquishing of their identity and purpose but honour for their husbands under God.
Teach women that staying in an abusive marriage and relationship is NOT scriptural—They should leave! Teach them that submission in a marriage shouldn’t cut short their destinies and diminish their worth and self esteem.
Teach women that marriage is NOT a must and if it will happen, it must be on God’s terms with a worthy male partner. Teach them that God is NOT waiting for them to be married before fulfilling purpose. Teach them not to shrink for male validation because they are both made in the image and likeness of God.
Teach men how God never said the husband must be richer/bigger/more famous than the wife. Teach men to not just allow their women shine but support and deeply encourage it because that is what being a husband is about.
Teach how men should be able to cook because it is a survival skill. Teach on how men should be actively involved in their children’s lives without seeking brownie points because that is what normal parenting is. I could go on.
FATHERS ARE RAPING THEIR DAUGHTERS!!!!
BROTHERS ARE RAPING THEIR SISTERS!!!!
COMMUNITY BOYS ARE RAPING FEMALE STUDENT!!!!!
GUYYYSSS IT'S SCARY HERE
THEY'RE EVEN ENTERING PEOPLE'S COMPOUND!!!
The “sample size” of men committing these horrific, barbaric crimes is far too large for the first response to always be “not all men.” It always has been. And that is exactly the problem.
Some cultures needs to die, and if your culture is tampering on human rights, it needs to die!
If your culture tells you that there are days meant to rape and molest women, then that culture must die! It’s a useless culture!
“But you survived”
I disassociate, like a lot.
My heart drops when someone raises their voice.
I shut down very easily.
I'm far too observant.
I always feel like a burden.
I isolate often.
But yeah, sure, I guess I survived.
I left Covenant University in what could have been my final year after 5 years of pain.
Here, in one place, is the body of work that once got me suspended.
Here is the body of work that set me free.
