Patriarchy really convinced us that “girls mature faster than boys” but never “mature enough” for leadership. Just “old enough” for rape, sexual harassment, exploitation and abuse, and provide care and domestic labor

- “She’s not dressed like a slut, you are THINKING like a rapist”. Always remember that
- One thing I never sugarcoat whenever I am in community with younger women interested in conversations on marriage & parenthood is how hard motherhood is. I have support but it is still incredibly challenging and takes a toll on my physical, mental & emotional health, and career..
- Imagine romanticizing a woman having to work with her child on her back all day instead of seeing this as WHY it’s important that workplaces provide childcare for women like this. What is really scary is how society especially men find women’s suffering/exploitation “attractive”A hardworking woman is very attractive. Any day!👐🏽
- Colonialism really succeeded in convincing many Africans that our "cultures" are static and aren't meant to evolve or adapt whatsoever. The saddest part of all this is, what most of y'all are calling "your culture" are literally colonial legacies LMAO.
- Replying to @MarthaAhumuza and @thisibiSame with “you are not like these other feminists” 😂😂😂
- Just here to ruin the day for them South Sudanese bigots and misogynists who wish feminists (hetero or queer) all the misery & hate the universe can offer😌
- I was once Sudanese, I am South Sudanese now. The difference matters. Recognize the difference. Respect the difference. Thank you.
- Nothing unites Africans on this app like homophobia and misogyny. Finding so much pride in collectively hating groups of people is some next level of evil. The cis women joining this Homophobia train, I hope you know your almost nonexistent reproductive rights are next!
- Abusive men and church🤝
