I think they truly believe that "people" should be free. Unfortunately they don't see women as people

You'll see a man give such a perfect analysis of some kind of oppression that affects him, e.g classism. In the next breath he'll defend child marriage
The only reason I’m not PanAfricanist is that the men are intolerably misogynistic Their vision for Black liberation is through replicating colonial social relations of women’s subjugation That’s why Nkrumah didn’t do shit for women’s lib and Lumumba married a child

My friend was sick. She gave her boyfriend money to buy foodstuff, so she could cook for them. He bought food for only himself
My sister divorced her husband last year. She was 7 months pregnant, on bed rest for high blood pressure, still trying to keep the house together. One night she asked him to bring her a glass of water from the kitchen (literally 10 steps away). He brought himself a beer, drank it

People who struggle with body odour should check their shirt armpits. If there's a build-up of deodrant/antiperspirant, you'll always smell even if you bathe well and use deodorant. Change your shirts or research how to get rid of the build up
They sacked someone at work cos he has body odor 😭…..

Tesla will always be welcome in Canada. Parts of the country can get very cold in the winter and a car that can spontaneously burst into flames is a feature and not a flaw.

Me: I don’t want kids. Person: if your parents didn’t have kids, would you be in existence? Me: what’s your position in the family? Person: 5th. Me: how many kids do you want to have? Person: two. Me: why two? If your parents had only 2 kids, would you be in existence?

"Let them eat a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli, corn tortilla, and one other thing."
Brooke Rollins: "We've run over 1,000 simulations. It can cost around $3 a meal for a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli, corn tortilla, and one other thing. So there is a way to do this that actually will save the average American consumer money."

#NovemberWorldbuilders 22 The Triempery series has DEEP history and lore. The civilization of the Aryati existed before the current story and committed acts that destroyed the original Creation. Ruins? A ruined World. The Rill. And three Cities.
It's our next week, #NovemberWorldbuilders! The theme this week is HISTORY in your fictional worlds. To start off with: does your world have any ancient (perhaps long-lost) civilizations? Did they leave ruins behind? Does anyone know what happened to them?

Not a single woman. I'm begging you to read “The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson, “A Good Man Is Hard to Find” by Flannery O’Connor, “The Yellow Wallpaper” by Charlotte Gilman. Women have been masters of short horror, and the short story in general, since its inception.

We'll say it's their fault that they're poor. That their faith in God is not strong enough.

It's hatred. If she postpones marriage now, they'll call her expired. They don't want poor people to do anything. "Don't have children if you can't afford to", but if poor people actually stop having children, we'll start screaming about birth rates or say that God will provide
I really don’t understand the reaction to that babe on her wedding day. Yes, a lot of us wouldn’t do it ( thanks to the privilege we have). But you all are forgetting that what you’re seeing is someone’s best efforts for their day within their capacity. Nothing wrong with it o
