My sister said the men in her office interrupt her constantly during meetings.
Every idea she starts explaining gets cut off halfway by some guy saying: โYeah what she means isโฆโ
For almost a years she stayed polite because she didnโt want the โdifficult womanโ label.
Last month she stopped.
Now whenever one of them cuts her off, she immediately jumps back in and keeps talking over them until she finishes her point.
Suddenly HR is involved.
Not because the interruptions started.
Because now the meetings are โbecoming tense.โ
this morning, my bus (shuttlers) left me. not even because I was late. the ETA was 7:24, I left my house by 6:50 so I could get to the bus on time. by 7:06, the driver calls (I'm still on my way), telling me he has arrived and will leave by 7:07
A male colleague sent me a message โHi Seyi pleaseโฆโ I responded โokay Femi. I will get it done.
He then responds, Iโm โMr. Femi and not Femiโ so I responded too that โIโm Mrs. Oluwabiyi and not Seyiโ
Aura for what again? ๐๐๐๐
Reminder:
Emma Watson is 35 years old.
She is not a little girl anymore. She is a grown woman, who spent years stoking the flames of hatred against the woman who treated her like a daughter.
Now that the JK Rowling hate train is less fashionable, she has decided to row back on her condemnation and claim that she still treasures and loves JK.
You donโt try to destroy someone you love.
You donโt light the torches and encourage the pitchfork-wielding mobs to hunt down and tear apart someone you cherish.
You donโt betray someone who has done nothing but love, protect, encourage and promote you.
Sure, Emma doesnโt owe JK her loyalty.
But JK doesnโt owe Emma hers, either.
And Emma doesnโt deserve the free pass sheโs been granted her whole life because people still see her as the bushy-haired child playing a character in a magical world.
She is a woman who has grown up cushioned by fame and privilege. She has never had to know the fear of living in a mixed-sex childrenโs home with convicts and troubled young offenders. She has never had to understand the grief at training your whole life to excel in a sport, only for a man to steal your success with a biological advantage you can never match. She has never witnessed the discomfort of being placed in a mixed public hospital ward, or being naked and vulnerable in an โinclusiveโ fitting room where random men could walk in at any time.
She has so little understanding of the world she so freely opines on. She has so little experience of the fear, struggle, and pain that women suffer at the hands of violent or predatory men.
She will never need a public womenโs shelter, or a state-run sexual health clinic, or a rape examination where they cannot offer a female-only option because of โDEI requirementsโ.
I myself was sexually abused from the age of 5. I will never be able to forget the feeling of their hands on my skin, their breath against my face, their bodies overpowering mine and making sure I couldnโt fight back.
I know the consequences of letting men invade womenโs spaces and safety. I feel the pain, fear and anguish of having womenโs basic rights violated. I live with the scars of menโs oppression every day.
And so does JK.
JK Rowling speaking out about her is long overdue, because unlike Emma she is coming from a place of wisdom and experience. Unlike Emma, she has lived the life that she now tries to protect other women against. Unlike Emma, she knows what she is talking about.
Emma is a grown woman.
She isnโt owed the forgiveness of youth.
She should be treated as what she is: a spoiled, ignorant adult.
Lagosians always engage economic conversations from the perspective of their aspirational status, not their current one. 2.7m a month apartment is cheap, but he never chop this night.
