I believe the correct wording here is Pedophile, 31, raped boy 13. Stop minimising sex crimes when they are committed by women.
Woman, 31, who had sex with boy, 13, who referred to her as 'mom' and then became pregnant with his child is jailed

A thread - When my white mother married my Kenyan father in 1965, her father disowned her. He banned all the family members from attending the wedding. My aunt sneaked out & came to church with her hair dripping wet. When my eldest sister was born, grandpa came around. /1.

What I have learned so far, raising a bunch of boys:.- If toddlers refuse to eat, leave them alone. When they are hungry enough they will eat. - There many things in life a warm hug, loving pep talk and good cup of tea will cure. - Teenagers are always hungry - always /1.

My parents were both intellectuals. Every day they sat on the veranda drinking coffee discussing politics, literature etc. When mum died, dad buried her in the garden. He said “Every morning I want to drink my coffee , spend time with and talk to my wife as I always did.”.

This man sat on her pregnant belly and C-Section sutures. The look on her face says it all. Instead of protecting a victim of abuse she is being "reconciled" with her abuser. What is it about a woman leaving a bad marriage that threatens people so much, they prefer she dies there.

Feminism doesn't mean tearing down another woman just because her views are more traditional than yours. Because she chooses to fulfill certain roles within her family. Isn't feminism freedom to make choices. Why do her choices threaten yours? Stop trying to score cheap points.

For married couples: In every heated battle, remember love. If your really love someone, measure your words, one moment of anger can do irreparable damage. Choose respect kindness, understanding, love, patience. Better to lose the battle and win the longterm loving relationship.

I used to live in Accra across the street from a well know water NGO - they dug a lot less wells a year despite heavy funding. They did have a very nice office, all their expatriate officials lived in posh areas, drove brand new SUVs. Thank you Mr. Beast for exposing them all.
REPORT: Activists are upset at YouTuber Mr. Beast for building 100 wells across Africa that provided clean drinking water to its citizens. Although the wells provide clean water to half a million Africans, activists are upset with Mr. Beast because they're annoyed a white male

Death is really final, final. Like you can never, ever pick up a phone and call the person again, go see them. Its done. Forever. Words left unsaid, feelings left unexpressed. If you love someone let them know, if you have something to say, say it.

If you see this snake, get away. One bite injects 200-1000mg of venom, enough to kill 7 men. On the bright side, it is an elusive snake that usually avoids people and will not attack unless provoked.

This is what it looks like when a woman designs and builds her own kitchen 🙄
Are Nigerian kitchens so terribly designed because it's mostly men designing and building homes? Our society is super patriarchal and men don't see it as their domain so it stands to reason that they don't think of comfort, ventilation, storage, etc when designing them? Reach?.

One of the best tips I ever got as a new mum with a baby who had colic was : Boil a bay leaf in 4 oz of water. Let water cool and give it to the baby to drink. Within minutes they start to burp out all the gas. Works better than gripe water or any other products I tried.
