Starrgirl is a bridge between past and present, tradition and transformation, self and society , accepting complexcity and turning it into strength
To exist in multitudes , to unfold endlessly , to shine in countless numbers like Stars in the galaxy.
This was me when I realised that there was no need for me to be rational about my feminism. Patriarchy itself is so absurd & illogical that my resistance to it doesn’t need to be neat or persuasive to the very people it benefits.
Also, I don’t care that Nigerian men feel attacked by generalizations. That’s the point of it. I want you all to feel collective shame. If you feel embarrassed enough by being seen as a rapist and misogynist, you’ll start treating the fuck ups of your fellow men,
my heart goes out to the nigerian women and girls in ozoro who were brutalised, molested and raped by disgusting, predatory men who were fully aware and conscious of what they were doing. this wasn’t a spirit or a religious attack. this was them. may they all die.
