I agree. The Feminism portrayed on twitter is MANY TIMES different from the true essence of feminist values. Numerous "Twitter feminists" seem more inclined to hurl insults than extend help to fellow women, prioritizing uncouth language and rigid expectations over educating and empowering others.
In contrast, many real-life feminists actively contribute to women's lives, irrespective of their stance on feminism, by challenging systemic barriers. Their primary focus lies in empowering women intellectually, financially, and mentally, recognizing that true empowerment fosters self-belief and knowledge.
On twitter, it seems to be a raging war where the fastest finger is deluded into thinking the best comeback has solved a gender bias problem. On twitter, it seems women only have the right to choose if the choice conforms to the expectations set by these Twitter feminists. If you do otherwise, you’re probably an open or closeted misogynist.
Sigh…
It's disheartening that Twitter feminism almost compels me to add disclaimers like "I'm a feminist but not a Twitter feminist," or "I'm a feminist who loves my partner and doesn't hate men." “I am a feminist but I love cooking for my husband…”
I should simply be a able to say “I am a feminist” and that should universally acceptable.
Also, there’s so much anger…
Don’t get me wrong, anger could be justified especially when there’s so much historical and current injustices against women and the stark gender bias could be annoying. In some occasions, anger is NEEDED to convey emotions because staying silent is tantamount to participating in evil doing. Truth is, the reproduction of a bias system can make you go mad if you care enough.
Is the root to your anger because of the injustice of an action, because of a personal pain you feel in relation to the event or because you’re so narcissistic that you completely refuse to accept that there are other ways that lead to a destination aside from YOUR way?
Please understand, I’m not an expert on anger, this is because I rarely get angry, it’s not an emotion that I prioritise so I can’t categorically state ALL reasons why these twitter feminists usually sound angry. I sense vibes and energy though and I have made successful life decisions based on the energy I feel so I can categorically say that I do not hear anger alone from the twitter feminists, I also sense contempt, bitterness and cruelty.
In few occasions, I have allowed my anger override my emotional intelligence and my true intentions but in time, I have come to prioritise real life direct impact over public outrage and winning an argument.
Before you come for a woman’s choices, I beg you to pause and reflect on your words and intentions. Will it empower her, educate her? Are you open to dialogue to understand her intentions or you just want to Lord your self righteous opinions over her?
I’m going to close with Chimamanda’s words. She said, “I say to young Nigerian feminists – please do not use feminism to justify your wickedness… Sometimes, I see some of these young ladies and when talking to them, they sound really mean, and I say to them this isn't feminism; you're just being nasty.”
Note: I’m on holiday so I’ll not be reading responses. If this tweet incites anger, I offer no apologies.
May your Christmas sparkle with moments of love, laughter and goodwill. And may the year ahead be full of contentment and joy. Have a Merry Christmas!✨🎄💜

@ninja93394@InvincibleHQ So my question is, while he was flying through space, his cape was flapping around like it's being blown about by wind. Can you explain that?
Only in Nigeria, where the gross annual salary (plus allowances) of a professor is around 25% of a politician's monthly salary plus allowances. Very sad.
My scary classroom social experiment demonstrating how tyrannies arise from democracies:
I gave a bunch of extra credit tickets to the first few students to arrive in class, then everyone else received 1-2 tickets.
The kids that came into class last were outraged by the “injustice” of those that came first getting a greater reward.
There were no rules or directions for this day in class. I just told them I’d act as an enforcer of whatever they decided to do in the 47 minutes.
The girl circled in red- Emily- was a genius.
She used her charisma and charm to court the majority of her peers that had less coupons, and played off their resentment of the minority that had earned more tickets for arriving to class early.
In the allotted time she convinced her peers that if they voted to give her absolute power, she would confiscate the 40+ coupons held by the minority and distribute them equally.
The minority of students were frustrated, but powerless against the majority vote.
Emily was elected to a “supreme ruler” position, and as promised she confiscated all of the tickets from the minority of students that arrived to class first.
That’s when things got interesting.
She kept the vast majority of tickets for herself, and distributed a few to some of her friends.
It was a microcosm of what has happened historically time and time again, and the danger our republic faces.
I asked the students to write a reflection on how they now viewed unrestrained majority-rules democracy, and their opinions has definitely changed from the day prior.

@Mochievous What I find problematic about this is the impression that Alozie should not be sexualized ONLY BECAUSE of all these enumerated acheievements. Almost as if it’s okay to sexualize any other woman.
This is ELITE FEMINISM. The sky is the starting point.
