@karungimcknight@CatheyTweets Right! There has been a crisis of deadbeat fathers for decades!!! and as a result, thousands of worn out single mothers and traumatized daughters!!! This conversation has never been as necessary as it is now.
I wanted to ignore this, but I’ll take a moment to respond.
I am not the contradiction of what I advocate for; I am living proof of it.
I believe in bodily autonomy. That means every woman has the right to decide what happens to her own body and her own life. I chose to have my child. I will defend a woman’s right to choose motherhood, just as fiercely as I will defend another woman’s right not to. Feminism is not about forcing women into one path; it is about ensuring they have the freedom to choose their own.
I do not advocate for single motherhood. I advocate for accountability. My work has always been about demanding that men take responsibility for the children they help create and that women are not left carrying the physical, emotional, and financial burden of parenthood alone. Calling out deadbeat fathers is not promoting single motherhood, it is challenging the systems and attitudes that create it.
I was raised in the most stable and loving home. A home that respected my voice and encouraged it. I was raised by a loving and present father who taught me my worth through his actions. A father that calls me “my daughter, my love, my child, my dear”, a father that is so proud of me, everyone around him knows it. Because of him, I know what respect, responsibility, and care look like,. That is precisely why I refuse to accept less from men and why I will continue to challenge those who believe women should silently endure neglect, abandonment, or disrespect.
What some of you fail to understand is that feminism is not about controlling women’s choices. It is about defending them. It is about ensuring women have agency, dignity, and the freedom to decide the course of their own lives.
So no, I am not the opposite of what I believe in.
I am exactly why I believe in it.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. ❤️
Almost every woman I know personally has been sexually assaulted at some point in their lives. You can't think it's okay to shut people up from speaking up about assault because some people lie. If you lie, you should face consequences - but that's not the conversation I'm having. Nor is it one I'm interested in having. How many of your male friends have they lied against? How many of your friends have actually assaulted women as vibes?? Women are terrified to go out. Women in their homes are not safe either. Ask your sisters. Ask your female friends and your girlfriends. Ask your wives. We're not all crazy. STOP RAPING WOMEN!!
To every medical student about to enter internship:
Your silence is compliance.
To every senior doctor who went through internship with an allowance:
Your silence is betrayal.
To every Senior doctor waiting to supervise hungry interns:
Your silence is sadistic.
To every Ugandan who has ever received care from an intern:
Your silence is ingratitude.
This policy requires a collective response.
Not a quiet acceptance.
i totally agree as long as the DNA of all male fathers and children should be kept in a database to be routinely cross checked against DNA obtained from rape kits. full transparency for all 🥳
Every freedom you have as a woman was earned through the sacrifice of women who came before you. You didn’t inherit these rights by luck. Someone marched, protested, and paid a price for them.
