The patriarchy is when a teenage girl constantly gets asked if she has a boyfriend yet, when a women in her 30s constantly gets asked when she's getting married or having kids. There is more to woman than just being a mother and a wife, or being the girlfriend, people always try to rush woman into those boxes as soon as you reach a certain age, and make you think you are behind in life, why???
Just because you don't have a boyfriend or husband, there is more to life then being in a relationship, find yourself, find your interest, experience life, you don't have to rush anything just because society is pushing misogynist standards on you.
Reminder that you can also register your ID with the South African Fraud Prevention Service. It'll mean that you have to present a letter with any new credit application, reducing (although not eliminating) the risk of someone else using your details to score free money
who would look after him. And thatโs the cycle right there. Even when women recognise the unfairness of these expectations, they are often still socialised to reproduce them. Women privately tell their daughters about the exhaustion and compromises behind certain choices while
I'm a big fan of the "GPS Theory" when you miss a turn, your GPS doesn't judge you, it recalculates. No matter how many detours you take, it finds another way forward. Life works like that too. You'll make mistakes, but your destination doesn't vanish. The route just changes.

yes, i do and itโs actually more important than most people think
the blue flame is what u want, what everyone wants. it means the gas is getting enough oxygen so it burns clean and efficiently. it comes from complete combustion which produces heat, carbon dioxide and water vapor... hotter, safer and better for cooking.
the yellow/orange flame is a warning sign. it means incomplete combustion maybe cos the burner is dirty or airflow is blocked. that color can produce carbonmonoxide which is very dangerous for your health. it also wastes energy and gives you bad heat.

In 1986, a 3-foot parasite was emerging through the skin of 3.5 million people a year. In 2025, the number was 10.
Guinea worm disease is about to become the second human disease ever eradicated, after smallpox. And it's being done without a vaccine and without a single drug.
The worm takes a year to mature inside your body. Then it tunnels to your foot or leg, forms a burning blister, and begins emerging over several weeks. The pain drives people into water for relief, which releases thousands of larvae and restarts the cycle in whoever drinks from that source next.
The Carter Center broke that loop with pieces of cloth. They taught villages to filter their drinking water through fine mesh. They paid cash rewards for reporting cases. In 2025, national programs investigated over one million rumors of the disease, nearly all within 24 hours.
Jimmy Carter took this on after he left the White House and said he wanted to outlive the last Guinea worm. He didn't quite make it. But the 10 cases in 2025 showed up in just three countries: four in Chad, four in Ethiopia, two in South Sudan. 200 other countries are already certified clean.
A parasite that infected 3.5 million people a year is being wiped off the planet by pieces of cloth and a million phone calls.
As I have always said, If you have a problem with menstrual blood, then just date a man. Women menstruate it is not news. And sometimes, mistakes will happen.
If you think this little blood messes up your car, then wait till she has to push a baby out in the car while you are stuck in jam rushing to the hospital, you will see real blood.
And if she had a heavy meal before labor begins, Number 2 will actually come out before the baby. So this is nothing lads.
As long as you are straight and love women, then terms and conditions apply.๐ abakyala bazira.
