Dear woman, whenever a man says me or your work, chose the work. Business, choose the business. Leave, choose to leave. Sex or I will go out, let him. Always choose whatever he puts up against himself because, even if you give him your life he has made up his mind to ruin you.
Reading to your baby sounds fun... in theory.
Till you have a child who LOVES books, makes you read 10-15 times a day, and will throw an absolute fit till you do.
Sometimes I hear Dela reading to him and he sounds like he's being held at gunpoint but baby is laughing cheerfully
Not a great analogy but I hear her.
Back in the day it was easier for women to submit because they didn't really have a choice and marriage was basically the only way to be “secure”. We shouldn't kid ourselves that it was unconditional love. It was conditional then too. The system just made the conditions for them.
Remove that dependency and you find out what was choice and what was constraint. That's where we are now. Women are educated, they're working, a lot of them earn more than us. Of course their view of marriage has changed.
Rami's right that men need to raise the bar. But if the bar is only about providing, a lot of us won't clear it as women keep moving up. It has to be about who you are as a man. How mature you are, how steady you are, how you show up when things are falling apart. You can bring that whether or not you earn more than her.
And I don't think relationships are transactional. They're reciprocal. A transaction falls apart the minute one person can't pay. Reciprocal means sometimes you carry her, sometimes she carries you. When you get there it's less about who submits to who and more about respecting each other.
This is separate & not identical but victims of domestic violence will sometimes deny that they have been hurt or say that they’d hurt themselves; a friend may have to reason with them. The shock is such that they can’t allow themselves to believe that a person they had feelings for had hurt them.
Unfortunately this can diminish the severity of the charges. The propensity to deny being mistreated or exploited extends to other aspects of life including politics.
Who disciplines a lawyer who's also an MP and a minister? The General Legal Council, chaired by the Chief Justice, whose appointment ran through the president and Parliament. Follow that circle round once and tell me where the outside check is
What a gift my wife is to me, man!
I think I could possibly be the luckiest man in the world
How did this happen?
God, please equip me everything I need to steward this woman's heart and this gift that I've been given in her. Help me get it right.
JUST IN: 🇬🇭🇨🇳 Ghana launches cedi-to-yuan payment system for imports from China, reducing reliance the US dollar.
• Stanbic Bank Ghana is piloting the cedi-to-yuan payment system, with Ghana Commercial Bank developing a similar service.
• Payments are processed through China's Cross-Border Interbank Payment System (CIPS), enabling direct yuan payments from cedi accounts.
• This system reduces the need for US correspondent banks, cutting costs and processing times for China-related transactions.
@abike1999 And let’s talk about how that little brain clicks into place, all the dummy shit goes out the window. Mens incompetence becomes a lot less “cute” when a baby is involved
What pisses me off is the fact that they never hold onto the parts of the culture that encourage prosperity and growth. Just the parts that promote degeneracy and violence against women.
My wife and I have been reading to my son from day one. He loves it, especially when we make voices.
After bathing, he comes to my office to pick a book
He has his favourites and if you visit us and he likes you, sometimes, he will bring you one of them to read to him.
Men bond over misogyny.the most racist white man will bond over violence against women with the darkest black man he's ever seen. The most puritanical religious man will bond over misogyny within atheist man he just met. Men use hate for women as a bonding ritual. Always
I’m not going to be praying for a man to treat me better or right, because I do not need prayers to be kind to a man. I’ll rather just walk away and be alone for the rest of my life.
