“Oh, you love to read? You should join our book club!”
But you see the problem is I don’t want to be told what to read, because then I automatically don’t want to read it.
Nigerian “discipline” is highly overrated. Look at the society that discipline created, morally bankrupt and anyhow. It’s just abuse and suffering packaged as discipline.
As someone who worked out all through my pregnancy and saw my BFF struggle all through hers with a short cervix diagnosis and had to undergo cervical cerclage surgery to avoid preterm birth, I can say that pregnancies are different for every woman.
My friend couldn’t even climb stairs during pregnancy because of the risk of losing her baby, while I, on the other hand, was completely fine and could work out.
Others are asked to be on bed rest, while others are only advised to take walks and get enough rest.
Some women can’t retain food due to hyperemesis gravidarum; others are fortunate enough to eat.
You can’t use someone else’s body, symptoms, or experiences as a standard for others. It’s not only insensitive; it shows a lack of knowledge, empathy, and respect!
Women go through a lot during pregnancy. For a whole bunch of you to be comparing them to one person!
Lastly, these men just showed a lack of awareness, and it’s truly disappointing to say the least.
I pity snails a lot. A male snail can be coming back home from work, and a human nonchalantly pick it and drop it where it will have to trek the whole weekend to get home. Now he’s going to spend the rest of his life trying to explain to his family how he was abducted by a giant, teleported to a utopian parallel universe, and then left there.
