Guys part of being a womanist/feminist or equalist is challenging your own thoughts.Taking accountability for the gaps you find,not doubling down and labelling people for calling you out.
Nuance exists we know that,accept that 2 truths can exist at the same time.
i get this. but its *interesting* that its always women's desires and attractions that are being interrogated.
THAT too is rooted in patriarchal ideologies...
This talk is funny because we were told that men screened us for our beauty, youth, and fertility. Traits that many of us also can't control and would have to invest so much effort and time in improving. Everyone loves high standards until they're rejected.
You have no idea how much respect I have for this person who has systematically archived every piece of evidence from the Gaza genocide.
This is how history refuses to be erased. Thank you for your extraordinary work. ❤️🙏🏼
When people get married you wish them a happy union, you tell them the day looked beautiful, you congratulate them, such a happy day for a couple and you wish them the best things life can offer. Or you shut up.
feminism takes 0 good things away from men, it only stops the bad. So a man who says he hates feminism is admitting he wants to hold power to do bad things.
This is happening in SA right now. Dont be naive, the DA cannot win elections in Joburg without meddling. They havnt won a single new seat in Joburg and need to nearly double their seats to just get back to 2016 levels, yet the media will let you think is a done deal.
The other part that’s funny about this is these are the same men that will call you a misandrist for saying men are useless 😂
They want to be useless while being given the respect of a useful partner.Gods of Weaponized incompetence.
One thing for sure, POST PARTUM DEPRESSION IS REAL.
There’s a reason why we, black people, have our traditions. imama must move home for 2/3 months to be with her mother/family to assist in her recovery. There’s nothing your man can do for you unfortunately.
This hun just showed up at my place with groceries . I feel bad for her because she is going all out for someone who doesn’t care about her. Being part of her karma and character development is a privilege that I dont take lightly. Its an honour 🙏🏽
Mind you. Just the other day, in a section of the TL, men were up in arms over "Husband is Useless."
Now we see a man saying "There’s nothing your man can do for you unfortunately" in reference to a husband's role in postpartum care.
This is called occupational devaluation or, in sociology, the pollution theory of gender segregation. It has been found and corroborated again and again. Basically, the more women do something, the more men devalue it, exciting the career or activity because participation is perceived as low status and feminine.
Rather than women being "responsible" for chosing low paying jobs, the jobs and tasks become lower paid as soon as a sufficient amount of women do them. Sociologists liken these fields to being "polluted" in the eyes of many status conscious men, who then exit or never enter the occupation.
You probably all know about real world examples like programming, veterinary medicine, and HR, administrative work, and college in general, but there is one example from history that is far more telling, and I haven't seen very many people talk about it.
In England after the Black Death, wages were quite high for laborers, due to labor shortages, and women enjoyed pay parity with men in many sectors. The nobility did not like that. So in 1388, during the reign of Richard II, the Statute of Cambridge was enacted to set explicit wage ceilings per job title and gender.
For example, a male shepard could make 10 shillings a year, but a female one could only make 6, and she was not allowed to become head shepard, by law.
Subsequent renewals of the law institutionalized a gender wage gap, forcing women into long-term, fixed contracts capped at artificially depressed, lower rates. Commentators at the time even remarked that they didn't see women shoveling dirt, for example, any slower than men, but the gap was justified on the greed of laborers and maintenance of the feudal order.
This gap persisted and became mythologized as evidence that, all along, women's labor was just inherently less valuable. In subsequent periods of England, women were even forbidden from working outside of the home entirely, and raises in men's wages in response to unrest (literally "breadwinner" comes from the concept that they were to win the bread of the entire family) were justified by the amount of unpaid purely domestic labor women did to assist him in the family's chosen profession.
Everything you think you know about the gender pay gap is a lie. The gap is often manufactured, and then justified by those who forget the origins of it. It then persists by social engineering, and the invisible sexist biases of people who flee "women's work" or chose to pay it less, and instead blamed entirely on the choices of women.
no one talks about the fact that she’s the only african girl who has been able to achieve this multiple times SOLO. you may hate her but you can never deny the fact that no other african girl is doing it better than her. 🇿🇦
always leave the house earlier than you need to get anywhere because it allows for an expansive moment of connection with yourself that can only be access when you're not in a hurry
