in reference to witnessing the horrors of racial violence, Toni Morrison said, “I insist on being shocked. i am never going to become immune. I think that’s a kind of failure to see so much of it that you die inside. I want to be surprised and shocked every time.”
A surgeon in Gaza had to do an amputation surgery for his OWN child without anesthesia
Then he watched his child die from all the pain. 💔

Girl Talk + other feminists have literally asked to have a conversation with you but you continue to refuse, staying ignorant & so insensitive - I’m so mad that you have this following but still choose to be a ‘copy & paste’ motivational speaker. Jolly read & actually LEARN!

so many of us treat rape as a single act of forceful penetration.
we don't define inappropriate actions, groping, coercion, catcalling, victim blaming, being friends w/a rapist, lying about using condoms etc - as part of rape culture. as systemic abuse directed against women.

most messages you receive from your parents on a night out are:
“Ubwo c abari bukubone utaha ariya masaha baratekereza iki” instead of “wizeye abantu n’uburyo uri butahe?
goes to show how parents’ concerns are merely fixated on what people think than how safe we’re.

jolly is such a respectability queen bambi. basically implying that women deserve respect only when we conform to a particular social & moral dress code.
kandi the issue is not even about ‘dressing WELL’ - it being subjective means that it shouldn’t be up for debate. sighhh!
I am from a school of thought that dressing well is a personal statement,it’s one form of respect for oneself,people they meet /places they go to. It doesn’t only convey respect but power too.However,dressing well remains a subjective term.what/who influences dress code,discuss?

i think one of the most disheartening things about rape culture is that even as women we’re not fully aware of how sexual violence manifests it self in subtle & mundane situations w/ power dynamics involved.
listening to women speak on that twitter space was so heartbreaking.

the painful reality is that we live in a society that affords rapists the perfect environment to thrive while victims are vilified for trying to break the cycle of abuse
we are complicit in upholding rape culture from high levels of enforcement against rape to how we socialize.

Allow yourself the authority to govern these things. Be soft. Be gentle to yourself + your surroundings through the process. Be a voice to your own thoughts + truth. ✴
