As a woman, live for yourself, not for the male gaze. Because no matter your actions - like harmlessly dancing at a party - men will always attempt to subjugate & contain you. Your mere existence can provoke them to seek your humiliation. So, be yourself. Live for you.

I think the most interesting part of this conversation about marriage is that it highlights the differences in people's realities. For example, what some categorize as love and affection in marriage feels like utter insanity to me. Very interesting.

Doesn’t the fact that half the replies are people saying “it depends on who you marry” prove his point?
The institution of marriage itself can be limiting & misogynistic. And unless you’re lucky to find a partner who isn’t about the patriarchy, you’ll likely experience
Marriage is really one of the biggest setbacks for women and I wish they’d see that. Woah

Who the fuck are you threatening?
There are a million bootcamps for boys, that's why the ones for women exist, to achieve balance. Instead of crying online, why not use Google to find workshops for boys or consider starting one yourself? Who’s holding you?
Every single corner of recruitments, bootcamps, scholarship offerings - "girls and women only"
In your quest for equality, you're neglecting the boy-child.
The boy-child shouldn't be an afterthought.
Your neglect of the boy-child will come at a price.

Also, the framing of this tweet bothers me. It prioritizes the man's feelings over the woman's, even though she's the one working hard for her money.
"The man will think you're deliberately trying to insult him."
Okay, and why should his feelings take precedence here?
My opinion might not be the popular opinion but this is intruding. I get you want to help her but you don’t know the arrangement they have. You don’t know if they have decided to use one purse then you say this. The man will think you are deliberately trying to insult him.

This is tone-deaf & easy to say from the comfort of your home oo. Do you expect people who are hurting & mourning to protest for your confirmation of how hard they're fighting to stay alive? Same people who have been vocal about their experiences with riots for over a decade?
You may drag me (if you wish) but I feel like the people of Plateau aren’t making enough noise about these constant killings. I’m not talking about a one day protest here. Go beserk!!! And get attention to this. These are war time casualties and this happens way too often

There is no universe where misandry is as damaging as misogyny. Nobody, at least not in the overwhelming majority as is often the case with misogyny, has gotten killed as a result of "man-hating." Misandry has not forced men, in large numbers, to drop out of school & get married.

Maybe, but data & the very real experiences of multiple women out there don't support your theory. The tweet you're replying to appears to be a textbook case of financial abuse - a husband limiting his wife's access to her finances to exert control over her.
My opinion might not be the popular opinion but this is intruding. I get you want to help her but you don’t know the arrangement they have. You don’t know if they have decided to use one purse then you say this. The man will think you are deliberately trying to insult him.

The existence of decent examples of women “thriving” in their marriage doesn’t counter the wider point of that entire institution being restrictive to women. It’s actually amusing that so many people are pretending that being married, especially as a woman doesn’t often mean…

Exactly. Most people don’t understand how it works. For a timely story like that, they had to use what was available. The alternative would have been chasing down photographers to ask for permission to use a much better one.
If you have a picture of Tunde, get it up on Getty Images. Reputable news outlets won’t use anything off of the internet, they’d only use licensed pictures they have access to either from their archive or signed of from the photographer themselves.

What's even scarier is that it sets a terrible precedent. It gives them room to target other laws that protect women. Who's to say they won't aim to repeal laws protecting against child marriage next?

I’m very suspicious of people who are quick to assume the worst of their friends, especially those they’re close to. Unless it’s a tired pattern, we should extend grace to our friends and assume the best of intentions.
If your friend goes quiet on you and your first instinct is to paint them negatively and accuse them of not making you a “priority” then you are the problem.
Whatever happened to “hey friend, I miss you— is everything okay?”
