@hapikohw 100%! It’s such a dishonest convo, to pretend like community is crumbling because people are no longer kind, thoughtful or valuing the collective. Girls have been burdened almost exclusively, unnecessarily & thanklessly. They are tired. 🤷🏾‍♀️

At what point in the discourse do we talk about how much of ‘community’ has just been women & girls being expected to do things.
Babysitting for a friend is out. Older siblings making a bottle is out. Baby sitting for a family member during an emergency is also out. Tough crowd fr.

@Lerato_Sarisa @thespicexqueen Yea, it's kind of sad if community only stands if women work for it, not if we all do. I have never heard of bros babysitting their homeboys kids for them, a lot of people don't expect male babysitters for their kids and the eldest child in this scenario is usually the daughter..

@hapikohw It’s also not lost on me how convenient it is that people would rather complain community is dead than advocate for the primary providers of community be treated a little better??

@kharisizm @hapikohw community is, by every possible metric imaginable, crumbling rapidly.
