At a family dinner, my uncle said women were "too weak" for physically demanding jobs. My grandma looked at him and said, "I gave birth without anesthesia. You called an ambulance because of kidney stones." The table went completely silent.
it’s been 70 years today since 20,000 women marched to the union buildings in pretoria to protest apartheid pass laws. we are because they were. happy women’s day, south africa. 🤍
