I still can't believe school never taught us anything about mortgages, credit scores, savings, taxes, or how politics actually impacts our lives. No proper lessons on budgeting, rent, interest, or how to avoid drowning in debt once you reach adulthood. But somehow we had time to learn cursive handwriting, complicated algebra we've never used since, the cells of a leaf, Venn diagrams, and how to set magnesium on fire with a Bunsen burner. Funny how school prepared us for exams, but barely prepared us for real life.
The fact that sperm can survive up to five days inside a woman’s body, literally just to wait for an egg to show up so it can get you pregnant, is actually insane.
Men are so ev!l. 😭
Rape victim k!lled her rapist after his release.
She got arrested and her statement was -
“He raped me, not the State. Who gave you the right to forgive him without consulting me?”
A woman can calmly explain ten times that something makes her uncomfortable. Then, on the eleventh time, she snaps. And the man will only remember the eleventh time. For some reason, the first ten don’t make it into the male version of the story.
Killers are aided by political neglect. Look at Rhodesfield, Kempton Park: long grass, broken lights and neglected spaces, while women’s bodies keep being found. Perpetrators cause femicide, but can exploit darkness and isolation. Maintenance is violence prevention. Vote well!
Women are not safe at home
Women are not safe in the streets
Women are not safe in the gym
Women are not safe at church
Women are not safe just existing
Women are not safe just being women
WHERE ARE WOMEN SUPPOSED TO LIVE????
Cyril really needs to tell us what transpired after GBV was declared a National Disaster because we definitely cannot see any improvements?! Women have been taking extra precautionary measures with no changes. So what exactly needs to happen to deal with the issue?
There’s something fundamentally wrong when the burden of preventing violence falls primarily on the potential victim rather than on society preventing perpetrators from committing it
If you grew up obsessed with Identity Discovery and murder documentaries/investigation shows, then you will know that no amount of precautions will keep women safe from people who are determined to harm them.
