Don't jog alone.
Don't walk alone.
Don't go to the post office alone.
Don't go to school alone.
Don't go on a date alone.
Don't walk home alone.
Don't go to a restaurant alone.
Don't live alone.
Don't go hiking alone.
Don't travel alone.

What else did I miss? 🙂

I love women but let me tweet in a way that reinforces all the stereotypes for why women continue to get excluded from public spaces. Ah! Keep your love to yourself.

The only reason you jump to the conclusion that women make bad leaders or shouldn't be leaders is because of the misogynistic notion that they must be these perfect soft mammies who must hold you like you're an egg and anything outside of that immediately makes them incompetent

Men thinking our grandmas were happy is a product of women keeping their stories private & the culture of coddling men by not telling them things.

What do we need to do to dispel the myth that Bobotie is our national dish?

[Sebaga M @SebagaM]

I’m actually not that shocked that there are large numbers of kids who behave like this..

We interact with their parents here on social media and they are vile to the core!! 😩😩🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽

They swear at us when they aren’t able to articulate their thoughts. So vele it’s not surprising that there are children of this calibre..

notice how there are no insults for black South African women who date white foreigners

women have been known to drink long before alcohol brands started positioning themselves as “tailored for women”. but there’s also something uncomfortable about men having freedom to do what they want (alcohol/gambling) but women must maintain a certain standard.

@purehijabey A petition to end choice "feminism" please 😭😭😭🤲🏾

[Yemi. @KR3Wmatic]

Oyinbo kids are not spoilt brats. Oyinbo children are not inherently disobedient. What we often call “spoilt” or “disrespectful” is sometimes just a child being allowed to have a voice, ask questions, express disagreement, and set boundaries.

I really steer clear of people without principles. The bag is the bag cannot be your entire personality or an excuse when you consistently betray those in community with you

That’s literally someone that can sell your soul🙃

I started watching the Trials of Winnie Mandela and I am so uncomfortable with the introduction and this whole conversation about accountability when it comes to Winnie on episode 1

I want to unpack why I am so uncomfortable and I am trying to find the right words.

This continent has had so many male freedom fighters whose lives were never deciphered, analyzed, villainized as Winnie's life has been when she was alive and now even as she is dead

Even when some celebrated her, they add a but. Why the " but"? If anything Nelson Mandela deserves to be celebrated with a " but"?

Why the constant desire to unpack her life within the boundaries of "saint " or "sinner"???

I don't think I can continue watching this documentary. It is starting wrong for me

[Lethabo_M @lethabo_masha]

Not necessarily related to this particular article but somewhat related: are these issues only called out when it is women leaders or even men leaders? Is it that more is expected from women leadership than their counterparts? Could there be elements of ‘care labour’?

[Asanda Magaqa @asandamagaqa]

I was bullied out of the public service - & it wasn't by men. This @DailyMaverick piece names something too many women stay quiet about: shouting, slammed doors, exclusion, dressed up as leadership. Sisterhood has to survive contact with power, not just Women's Month panels.

My laptop is freezing, looks like I’m not working today.

[Sabelo @Mahoota11]

Well said. I hate the “people can do whatever they want” stance when people are defending history and culture. Apartheid and colonialism did enough diluting of our cultures, people are correct to try and preserve whatever is left.

[Zikhona Valela @valavoosh]

I love this photograph because you can see all five FEDSAW leaders who led the 20-thousand strong women’s march to the Union Buildings 70 years ago on this day in 1956: from left to right: Sophia William’s de Bruyn, Rahima Moosa, Helen Joseph, Lillian Ngoyi and Lillian Diedericks.

In light of the historic achievement of women's solidarity, what solidarity are we claiming today?

One could tell that Cesane would play the way she is from the national anthem visuals.

Yho! My Sister 😭😭

[Jay B's wife (real) ❄️ @loveyy_doll]

Bobotie being our national dish is insane. 90% of the country doesn't even eat that nor have they ever. Tyla didn't even know what it was😭😭😭
