I just saw a TikTok where a man was praying over his newborn daughter. His prayer went something like this..
"Lord, I pray for her to be modest in what she wears, that she would save herself for marriage, that she would not walk around flaunting her body, but that she would be a sweet, beautiful, young, modest girl."
Again, he is talking about a baby girl, A BABY really
Purity culture starts before girls can even talk, before they can even walk.
nd just like I've said before, modesty nd purity culture do the opposite of what they're supposedly meant to do.
they center the female body in a sexual way from the very beginning, they don't protect the female body from sexualization or assault...for real
It is unfit for a man to show his arm. As the veins entices women and causes us to stumble. Men should protect their honor or else no woman will marry them.
“The more hypocritical a society is, the harsher it is in punishing petty crimes for it uses them to compensate for its own impotence in confronting the great crimes it itself commits.”

A healthy society needs adults who can cooperate, compromise, and resolve conflict. Those lessons start on the playground, not in the classroom, writes @jarobinson1.
My dad says he always sides with his wife because at least he knows she’s his. We, on the other hand, were just brought home from the hospital and introduced to him. 😂😂
@calvin_ski@DrJuma_M Yes, and it's thetypical of someone who joins a cult , arent they all like that , The Mackenzies , Owuors.

If she sapped out of it, then good she deserves a second chance. If not , then it's unfortunately too late.
Public transport is political.
As I have said, the Kenyan middle class is educated but has a poor grasp of concepts
Add massive individualism to the mix and you understand why they will fight public services
This is how the collapse of universities in the US began. Building stadia and spas instead of tuition breaks, classrooms and labs. @uonbi lecturers, how are you accepting this when you don't even get paid on time?
@calvin_ski@DrJuma_M Many people dishonor their parents. A gazillion of parents dishonor their children too.Dont make it sound like it's the worst thing ever.
Arunga joined a cult and her behavior then reflected exactly that. Guys who join Owuor and other cults exhibit the same
Have a bit of empathy
Fanon said the same thing in The Wretched of the Earth. If people are not politically educated to understand the purpose of a bridge, then they should continue swimming across or using boats. He was saying that development needs to be put in people's brains through political education, not parachuted from above, so that by the time the infrastructure is built, they feel responsible for it and use it for the purpose intended.
I have always asked people who accuse Coasterians of being lazy: "you want these people to wake up at 6 am, to go where exactly?"
Industrial complex? Dead. Corporate? Nonexistent. Temperature? Hell Celsius. Soil? Acidity. Infrastructure? a rumor.
Wake up at 5 am to go where?
