I was 20 weeks pregnant with my first born when I attended a baby shower where older women were giving the married pregnant woman advice. 1 said we have to tell you the truth, "you are married but that baby is going to be yours".
Someone said to me the other day even married women are single mothers. That hit deep.

Please stop telling Enca journalists to march out of their workplace. It's not the same as unfollowing the Twitter handle or blocking the channel. Unemployment is not revolutionary, it's painful. Bullying colleagues and calling them sellouts is not it either.

So Im a girl whose mom totally rejected her as a kid. I found out who my mother was at 8 years old. I was shocked coz i thought my aunt was my mom. Then she reassured me. Was excited to officially meet my mom, i had known her from church but didnt know she was my mom. Thread
Saneh’s tweet about her mom actually breaks my heart because mine is the same. I don’t even remember the last time I didn’t cry on my birthday because I don’t get a text or call. When I tell people how I feel towards her, they are so dismissive about it or say mandixole

One thing we as cis women should note, is that transphobia from us means we accept patriarchy’s definition of womanhood, and that has violent and damaging implications for us too.

Yall are hating on Melusi nje. The point is, safe sex is your responsibility as a person engaging in sexual activities. You cannot rely on people to disclose their HIV+ status to decide to use protection or go on PrEP. Melusi did not say HIV+ people go around infecting others

It’s when y’all ask “Why open up by the Rape now” as if you would have immediately believed it if the victim had opened up about it immediately.
