Meanwhile, there’s a draft African Charter that, if adopted by Nigeria, will completely nullify the right of anybody gendered as a woman to have abortions. And trust Nigeria to be one of the African countries to adopt the Charter early.

A lot of feminist-leaning women still struggle to see themselves outside the Madonna–whore dichotomy and try to impose that internalysis on women who just don’t give a fuck or at least try not to. That’s why we keep going in circles and repackaging sexual shame as political critique. Pointing fingers at other women for being “male-centred” is meaningless if your own perception of yourself is fundamentally based on how men view you.
Knowing the song the statue is based on and who it’s about makes the mens’ reactions that much worse
