Why do you guys act like ending up as a 40 year old single cat lady is the worst case scenario??? My worst nightmare scenario is ending up as an undervalued mother and house wife to an incompetent man.
Historically, men never naturally led every institution. They simply prevented women from being a part of them for centuries.
Historically, men did not make women dependent. They did not give women the rights that ensure independence.
Historically, men never kept women out of power because they were incapable. They kept them out because power was never meant to beshared.
Historically, men never made dependence look like oppression.
They called it love, duty, and tradition.
Historically, men never provided for women. They simply restricted women from providing for themselves.
Bro people look down on drug addicts while they're addicted to their phone, food, a person and have a drinking problem. We're all dabbling in escapism, yours is just more socially acceptable
i’m gonna get yelled at for saying this, but a lot of women are single because they haven’t met a man who’s better at being a man than they already are.
One of the most beautiful feelings is knowing someone finds you interesting enough to talk to every single day. That they choose to spend their time with you, not out of obligation, but because they genuinely enjoy your presence.
my mom once told me “accountability will always feel like an attack when you are not ready to acknowledge how your behavior harms others” and that shit is real.
I recently organized a dental camp in one of the schools in Nairobi with children between ages 3-8. I can report that 80% of the children had dental fluorosis. This is slowly becoming a pandemic in Nairobi county. The public and @MOH_Kenya need to pay attention
1. What is dental fluorosis? It’s a condition where teeth develop white streaks, brown stains, or pitted/rough enamel. It happens when children swallow too much fluoride while their permanent teeth are still forming. Most people usually refer to it was ‘meno ya brown’
2. Excess fluoride levels in Nairobi county is mainly from underground water sources, so the boreholes that most people get water from, which they use for drinking and cooking. Others sources are fluoridated toothpaste swallowed instead of spit out, and in rare cases fluoride supplements.
3. Mild cases of fluorosis usually pose just cosmetic concerns but moderate and severe cases make teeth weak and susceptible to decay.
4. Treatment is usually costly,depending on the severity and most parents may not be able to afford
I believe there is need for rigorous public awareness campaigns, in schools, homes, hospitals, communities… some of these talks need to even start at the antenatal clinics. Mothers need to be taught about dental care too.
Then testing and monitoring of fluoride levels for each and every water source in this county. If possible, defluoridation systems can be put in place.
This is a project that requires many stakeholders involved and I hope someday it gets done. @HonAdenDuale@fnoluga@SakajaJohnson@psmuthoni
