The help they speak about is a joke when you look at the value. They’re talking about the free cash that’s been shared on twitter (usually less than an average of $100) or free drinks at a party.
The real help like funding women owned businesses - only 2% of VC funding goes to women
For elected political offices, women are severely underrepresented in Nigeria. Women are about half the population but hold only around 4% of elected offices.
Women hold only about 33% of formal-sector jobs, and their representation drops to about 22% in senior management.
I can go on and on.
Women have been saying for years that there is a growing backlash against gender equality, and every time the conversation comes up we’re told we’re imagining it.
Now the United Nations is saying it.
According to a UN report, nearly 1 in 4 countries reported setbacks in women’s rights and gender equality. Hundreds of millions of women and girls are living in conflict zones, violence against women remains widespread, and UN officials are warning about a growing backlash against women’s rights worldwide.
The part that stands out to me isn’t even the statistics. It’s that women have been raising concerns about misogyny, online hostility toward women, violence, and attacks on reproductive rights for years, only to be dismissed as overreacting.
If the UN Secretary-General is warning about the “mainstreaming of misogyny,” maybe it’s time to stop pretending these concerns came out of nowhere.
Do you think women’s rights are genuinely facing setbacks, or do you think organizations like the UN are exaggerating the problem?
OpenAI has filed for an IPO, joining Anthropic and SpaceX in what could become one of the biggest waves of tech listings in recent history. Together, they're worth more than $3.5 trillion on paper.
You could call this a test of sorts, as we'll soon see if public investors are just as enthusiastic about AI as private markets.

One thing about adulthood that way too many people learn way too late (and have no choice but to learn the hard way): you have to be deliberate/proactive about everything. For the first time in your life, you can't be passive participant in anything.
What I've learnt
1. They believe that we expire and they don't
2. If the legal age was lowered to 15, they would marry 15yr olds
3. Trying to speak about grooming means you are bitter
4. Add yours 🤣🤣🤣🤣
