@NotNikyatu I like how in this day and age black women are pioneering more language to fit our specific needs and experiences, and knowing that misogynoir, intersectionality, and #metoo were all created by black women in this time is very inspiring!
I know someone said this already but i still genuinely cannot believe the response to the success of barbie was “we should make a toy cinematic universe” instead of let’s make more movies for women
Knowing the person considered the “father of gynecology” was a white man who tested on enslaved Black women w/o consent & anesthesia, that practice already has a terrible history at the hands of a man & I simply will never 100% trust a man in that position.
The Ministry of Youth and Sports should step down. It's disheartening to witness such an incompetent government. How could they select an untrained girl to represent Somalia in running? It's truly shocking and reflects poorly on our country internationally.
