I once got a text from a guy saying that he enjoyed our date but didn’t think we should see each other again and I replied with ‘No problem, thanks for letting me know’.
He responded again 20 minutes later saying ‘I thought you might like to know why’ and I didn’t respond. He then sent me a three paragraph long message saying that I’m his dream girl but he didn’t like that I didn’t offer to split the check and that he was going to pay but he felt like I just expected him to pay. I still didn’t reply, I wasn’t interested in playing this game.
Over the next few days he sent multiple messages saying he’d be happy to give me another chance and that he really thought we connected. Again, I never replied.
The date was fine, I would have likely gone on another, but trying to keep women insecure to see if they anxiously attach to you is a fools game that I wasn’t interested in playing.
I hope he’s since learned that women who know how much value they bring aren’t going to grovel and apologize for expecting value to be returned.
Men are naturally selfish and that's why nothing holds them back, Not love, not marriage, not family! Nothing! That selfishness is what i want us to learn my dear ladies, Please be selfish and stay selfish. You're not a rehabilitation center for emotionally unavailable men !!
Lately, I’ve been reflecting on Queen Vashti, not as the woman Esther replaced, but as a woman whose refusal reshaped a kingdom.
The book of Esther opens with a Persian king, Ahasuerus, drunk on wine and pride, commanding Queen Vashti to appear before a crowd of men so he can show off her beauty.
She refuses. That’s it. No speech. No protest. Just a quiet, firm “no.”
And the empire responds with fear. Laws are quickly drafted. Control is tightened. Because if one woman can say no, what happens if others begin to believe they can too?
And that’s the question that’s stayed with me:
- What is the world so afraid of in a bold woman?
- Why do power structures tremble when a woman chooses dignity over display?
- Why is a woman’s sense of self so destabilizing?
Vashti wasn’t just resisting a moment, she was interrupting a pattern. Perhaps kings before Ahasuerus had made similar requests. Perhaps the king's court had long normalized women being paraded for show. Perhaps Vashti wasn’t the first to feel humiliated. But, she may have been the first to say "NO" out loud.
And reading the story closely, the real disruption wasn’t Vashti’s defiance. It was the fragility of male ego, exposed in the presence of a woman who knew her worth.
Vashti disappears from the story. We never hear from her again. But her "no" makes room for Esther’s "yes." Her refusal shifts the narrative.
And here’s the irony: Esther is never asked to show up before a drunken crowd. Her beauty is admired, yes, but in the privacy of her husband’s gaze, not as a public spectacle.
Figuratively, Vashti’s no changed the atmosphere. Her refusal sent a message that lingered: A woman’s worth is beyond objectification of her beauty..
So while Esther walks into the palace with grace and courage, it is Vashti’s defiance that clears the path.
Esther’s success may have had divine purpose, But it was preceded by Vashti’s personal self-respect.
Even today, in workplaces, churches, and leadership spaces, women are often expected to perform, submit, or stay silent. And when they don’t, when they dare to say, “This is not who I am,” systems still reach for backlash, policies, or quiet dismissal.
But like Vashti, every woman who stands firm—seen or unseen, makes it harder for the next woman to be diminished. Her boldness becomes a mirror. It unsettles fragile power.
Her “no” is not just an exit—it’s a pace-setter.
Vashti didn’t get applause.
She didn’t get a second chance.
But she got something most systems can’t stand: She left with her voice intact!
And for every woman standing up against abuse, at work, at home, in ministry or leadership, know this: The system may silence you, but you have given power and grace to the next woman coming.

On ne se rend pas toujours compte en tant que femmes des agressions sexuelles en couple car tu es biaisée par la relation mais très souvent le consentement n'est pas respecté. Beaucoup trop de femmes vivent ça

L’ANESTHÉSIE – Épisode 13
L’anesthésie pédiatrique
L’anesthésie pédiatrique, c’est un monde à part.
Ce n’est pas une adaptation miniature de l’anesthésie adulte. C’est une discipline à part entière, exigeante, à la frontière entre la haute technicité et l’extrême délicatesse.
Oui, je le sais, je les connais, je les côtoie. J’ai souvent été aux côtés de celles qui ont été arrêtées pour vol dans ces plantations, afin de chercher avec elles une alternative à cette vie. La vraie question, c’est : combien sont-elles payées pour remplir un sac de graines ?
La petite est entre de bonnes mains mains mais elle était dans un état critique jusqu'à hier dans un hôpital d’Abidjan ?
Mme @Nasseneba_Toure vos services travaillent mal et entachent l'image du ministère de la femme. Ns avons travaillé avec le PNLVBG.
