Dating as an adult is so interesting because you can meet somebody who's accomplished in every area of their life except emotional maturity.

South Africans wake up, work hard, pay PAYE and income tax, and struggle to provide for their own families. Now we're expected to fund social grants for asylum seekers without ever being consulted. Since when did taxpayers become a bottomless wallet that government can spend from without our consent? 😩

Make it make sense

You pay tax but your children can't get Nsfas. You are forced to take out medical aid . Your children can't go to a public school because it's overcrowded. Yet someone from Ethiopia can have 5 spaza shops and enjoy all the benefits without paying a single cent in tax .

A thought for men:

In South Africa today, a woman’s fear when a man approaches her may have nothing to do with the man he is, and everything to do with the world she has learned to navigate.

You may have pure intentions. She cannot know that.

So if she looks afraid, don’t take offence. Give her space.

Her fear is not an insult to your character. It is a reminder of the reality many women live with.

And sometimes, the most decent thing a man can do is simply step back.

Male privilege is tradition training women to serve, submit, and sacrifice, while training men to simply receive all three.

I want you to please listen to this when you have time. Maybe, just maybe you would see things differently and start doing something about it from your little corner.

Abstaining from sex as a woman becomes easier once you realize men use sex as a way to regulate their nervous system.

[Fur Mom @writeforlovetoo]

I really believe deadbeatism is a symptom of the contempt men have for women.

It’s never an accident, has always been in their plans for you.

The intention? To ensure your life gets layers of difficulty, strife, disappointment & hurt added to it

@Shirlez The problem is fathers shift that responsibility to girlfriend or their family members and the biggest problem is the child is ill treated.

[Katalia @KatapillarK]

Feminism did not teach me to hate men.
It taught me not to prioritize them over myself, which ironically, men view as hatred

@TinaZinhle The most toxic men are the ones from 2 parent households where the father was abusive or not present.

Not a great analogy but I hear her.

Back in the day it was easier for women to submit because they didn't really have a choice and marriage was basically the only way to be “secure”. We shouldn't kid ourselves that it was unconditional love. It was conditional then too. The system just made the conditions for them.

Remove that dependency and you find out what was choice and what was constraint. That's where we are now. Women are educated, they're working, a lot of them earn more than us. Of course their view of marriage has changed.

Rami's right that men need to raise the bar. But if the bar is only about providing, a lot of us won't clear it as women keep moving up. It has to be about who you are as a man. How mature you are, how steady you are, how you show up when things are falling apart. You can bring that whether or not you earn more than her.

And I don't think relationships are transactional. They're reciprocal. A transaction falls apart the minute one person can't pay. Reciprocal means sometimes you carry her, sometimes she carries you. When you get there it's less about who submits to who and more about respecting each other.
