Feminism is equality
Feminism is pro Black
Feminism is always queer
Feminism is decolonial
Feminism a working definition.

That I disagree with.
The road to liberation is not a straight line. It takes multiple tenacious effort to be free.
&we can't speak like that & disrespect the lives of all the people the state murdered, maimed& traumatized. It was an important step in dreaming of a free Kenya.
Replying to @gitaugikonyo_J @whatMackSays
I believe it's why the political class has been so adamant about gutting education and choking the arts.
So that the collective doesn't have access to explore history or expand on critical thought.

The goalpost keeps moving, mara tusiandamane, we wait for elections. Then this happens, something has to give. Elections MUST be broadcasted.

Btw this doesn't just happen to women in the context of GBV.
Happens with politics where the political class sets it up so that Kenyans are at fault for who they voted for & not a system build to protect and enrich the political class too.

(Victim blaming is more effect when already society is looking at an oppressed class as unreasonable/liars/deviant/etc)
(And, this isn't a hyperbolic Thanks to how things are you are more likely to die from either state neglect or direct state violence than you are of old age. & If you beat the odds and make it to old age you will burry a lot of people on the way. Just an FYI)
Confessed to a crime on live radio.
The hosts giggling away not asking:
1. Why tf would she commit academic fraud?
2. Why would she aim to "reward" only folks who campaign for her instead of working on policy changes that addresses adult literacy/qualifications
I is tayad.
Karen Nyamu: I recently tried to help a very staunch campaigner of mine join the police force. Tukakarabati (we forged) a form 4 certificate.
She went to Kiganjo for training, but after investigations, she was arrested for forgery alongside 17 others.

TW: Verbal abuse.
This is a DV red flag. His fits won't stop at slamming ugali on the table. It's not about the food. It would be warmed by him or her, it's about having power over/access to her labour. She needs to collect her kid(s) belongs & be gone by the crack of dawn.
Comparing consultancy work which is essentially industry specified problem solving ie gig by gig basis for when the consulting is needed to a steady (semi)guaranteed monthly net revenue is a choice... A fallacious choice
Fascinating thing about the algorithm.
It's very telling about who you are and what interact with if all you see is specific types of content. Whether it's from a place of hate or not. You are the curator of your TL.
The fault is not the queer people living in their truth.
Imo it's the sole responsibility of the father to be an active parent, who protects their child even from his wife if need be.
Why is it the man is always head of the home, until HE creates a messy situation suddenly it's the women who must or mustn't react in certain ways?
And read the marriage act... Understand the legal side of what you're getting into.
There are 2 people destroying a home btw.
Not just one, and only one of them said vows, and signed a legal document.
THAT PART.
The man creating the mess is automatically protected by society from the consequences of his own actions, and society proceeds to pass those consequences solely to the women.
The hypocrisy of it is so frustrating.
Replying to @njokingumi
@khanyisile has put it so well and succinctly here.
The belonging everyone is fighting for - wives and mistresses, for themselves and their children - is SOCIAL.
Note that the married man's social belonging is NEVER in question, despite betrayal, pain and confusion caused to many
Still tryna understand the origin of this convo.
But, everyone just skipping over the fact that the person responsible for navigating the child's safety is the father? i.e the cheating husband not his spouse?
Why is the husband infidelity such a passive, acceptable plot point?

Nigerian men btw ~ I see how you people pretended not to see this tweet.
Our advocacy for a better society should not be the entire demonization of one gender.
If this tweet was about an Anambra woman putting fresh pepper in her daughter's vagina, you people will camp here.
