June was men’s mental health month
You didn’t post anything to recognise that
You went the whole year without sharing stories to raise awareness but you are here today complaining about attention being brought to GBV because there is a larger focus on women
You’re not serious
"If you're in a relationship with someone who cares about the femicide happening in our country you need to find someone who doesn't" o stlaela and you sound like a predator.
Our sisters and mothers are killed and SA like animals in this country, and the only thing you're worried about is women spreading awareness and standing up for themselves?? Nah man you have a serious problem.
I will comfortably assume that every person who has a problem with women openly showing solidarity with victims of gender-based violence and femicide, is a perpetrator themselves.
Please hear me out. There’s a serious problem with tweets like this!
Maybe I’m overreacting, but someone needs to explain how this isn’t a clear pipeline to the same abuse and moral decay we all claim to hate.
Or how is this not sitting in the same group chat with all kinds of sexual assaults and misconduct? Or what do you think is the thought process of sexual offenders.
So, it’s a shame if you find a tweet like this funny, relatable, or worth endorsing in any way (like, reposting etc)
If we truly want a saner society, we have to start calling out, shaming and shutting down thoughts like this, one after the other.
Men’s Day is on the 19th of November o. You see how women show up sharing pads, teaching hygiene, mentoring girls? Men, rally too. Go to public schools. Teach boys consent. Stop raising grown nuisances who think ignorance of women’s autonomy is their birthright. Step up!
