My mom accidentally joined a neighborhood group chat meant for divorced dads. Nobody knows how she got added. Instead of leaving, she started giving them advice. Within two weeks, she was reminding them about school picture day, suggesting lunch recipes, and telling them to drink more water. One guy posted that his ex-wife was getting remarried, and my mom replied, "Good. Now focus on your lawn. It's embarrassing." Apparently, they LOVE her. Yesterday they invited her to their monthly barbecue. My dad asked why she was going. She said, "Those men need supervision.”
Germans dont support israel because they feel bad for the holocaust. They support israel because it gives them a chance to reroute their antisemtic bigotry towards the more socially acceptable islamophobic bigotry.
🇳🇱 Outrage in the Netherlands after footage appeared to show a police officer forcefully throwing a pregnant woman to the ground during an arrest, raising questions about the use of force.
Out of ten men, one makes a sexual joke at a woman, two laugh, three fake a chuckle to fit in, and four stay silent. None of them speak up. Later, nine of them still believe they're the "good guys." But from the woman's perspective, the laughter, the silence, the looking away, it all creates the same environment. So when women say"most men are the same," this is what they mean: not that every man harasses women, but that most men help protect the system that does.
My brother is a scientist & regularly publishes papers. He has a nemesis on the other side of the world who doggedly publishes objections to his analyses. Few of us get to achieve this kind of professional beef in the 21st century & I find this enviable
As a muslim who wears Hijab and follows islam willingly, I'm saying this! what Afghanistan is doing is nothing but violation of basis human rights, they're treating women less than animal and it's time every muslim women wake up and seek justice for our sisters, this is NOT okey!
The first word in the Quran is (اقرأ). Not hijab. Not modesty. Not men. Not even faith or belief.
but Read. Iqra.
To go against the actual decree of Allah for your extremism is a disgusting hefty choice. And I hope this choice is heavy on their scales life and after in hell.
I’ve lived this and till today, I regret it. I started talking to someone early 2024, she told me of her ex and how he treated her terribly, i told her about my past relationships as well, we bonded over that and other things, met up, there was a vibe, honestly she was very ok but I drew a line
I felt overwhelmed, like the love she was bringing was for 2 people, not just me, it triggered my avoidant side🤦🏾♂️ we went out, did stuff together, were intimate, but I just couldn’t see myself dating her cos of the excess love. In my head, I thought she was too emotional, too needy, and it scared me. We had talked about me not being ready to date earlier on but I guess she saw my actions and thought I had changed my mind🤦🏾♂️
I eventually told her I couldn’t continue, cos expectations started coming about why we’re not dating yet, it hurt her, I could see it did. She pulled away. Months passed and foolish me started regretting, reached out and the person I met was an entirely different person. She made me feel like trash, cl I felt bad but I know somehow i deserved it. Till today I still wonder what would have happened if we dated. Sad stuff fr
