God forbid I find anything credible or worth defending from a 64 year old man who married a 17 year old
Like I have always said, rape and sexual assault are not crimes of sex. They are crimes of power and control, sex is just the weapon used. This woman is the president of Mexico, yet a man groped her in public in an attempt to reduce her and let her understand that he can still…
In this entire uproar about Maraga saying he’ll have 50% women in his government, it’s not even the men’s reactions that are troubling me. Wamama??? What kind of Kool aid are you huns on? These freedoms you’re enjoying today weren’t handed to you by men. THINK.
You are in FRANCE. One of the countries with strong social protections and inclusion and they still protest and the US that uses go fund me as healthcare is what you are talking about? Open a book and READ about why it is in the constitution, instead of talking like Sudi.
RIP Bob Collymore. You would have hated Peter Ndegwa.
Also, it's not women who receive dowry/bride price. It's their families. And historically, women have been forced to stay in abusive marriages because their families already used up the bride price. Juzi tu Maasai brothers were beating their sister because of this issue
High Court has declared that Women Must return all Dowry after the Divorce.
It is not @dkmaraga who requires that government should be 50% female, it is the Constitution. And demand for "merit" when it is women's turn to be considered is just a structural pretext for perpetuating men's mediocrity in public spaces.
Hmmm thanks for putting words to my feelings! Meeting gender quotas isn't synonymous with foregoing merit. In fact there are tools to ensure the latter doesn't happen. In current parliament those tools aren't employed. At all.

I was FOURTEEN years old when this person took power. Freakin' fourteen and now I am freakin' 53!! Think about that for a moment 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I remember dating a lady slightly taller. In church, I would call her to myself and she will hurriedly run to answer like a little child, no matter who she was with. She would always say despite she being taller, there's this command and aura I carried and one had to respect.
Apologize to Mama Ida Odinga

At the social justice summit this grade 7 learner was meant to read the preamble, but first got up and said “it’s my first time seeing the president, hello Cupcake!” 😭
⚠️ MISINFORMATION ⚠️ Men can experience depression after childbirth, but it’s called paternal perinatal depression, not postpartum. ⠀ Women’s PPD is largely hormonal and physiological. Men’s version is often shaped by sleep loss, identity shifts, and relationship issues
You see this postpartum depression, men too go through it but we are not ready for that conversation. When a woman gives birth, both the women and her responsible MAN go through postpartum depression but over the years, no one see the men's side. While you are catering for…
Good! People should want to adopt because they WANT to adopt!! Not because they can’t have children the traditional way. Adoption isn’t build-a-bear. You have to have the mind to be able to handle all the challenges that comes with it.
Jennifer Aniston explains why she never wanted to adopt children amid infertility struggles: “But I will say there’s a point where it’s like out of my control. There’s literally nothing I can do about it. When people say, ‘But you can adopt,’ I don’t want to adopt, I want my own…
