Having an abortion for whatever reason remains valid in my books, but ableism and refusing to fight for a world where disabled people are humanized is a no no. We are literally all one incident away from a disability & a world for disabled people is a world for all.

Recently, the best form of support a church could give to an autistic boy, was to marry him off to a woman almost 30 years his senior. These are the people that want to stand on soap boxes and preach anti-abortion. A country that hides such kids from society

In Blood Sisters, Nollywood persists in its long tradition of framing homosexual relationships as both exploitative and aberrant. In a series suffused with sex, the only time it is both non-consensual and disgusting is when it happens between two women. Exploitative gay relationships exist, as do abusive heterosexual arrangements, and should get its due on screen. But healthy gay relationships also exist. In a country where the law and ad hoc mobs make the lives of gay people a living hell, telling a one-sided story is artistically irresponsible. All this does is confirm, rather than challenge, biases. No one is saying to show the good bits alone, but rather to show the good and the bad in the same breath, especially given the high political stakes. It’s also hard to miss the show’s suggestion that homosexuality is unnatural, although, to be fair to the filmmakers, this was probably unintentional. Classic Nollywood usually blamed Satanic possession for the existence of gay relationships, like in Lancelot Imasuen’s Emotional Crack and Moses Ebere’s Men in Love. On the other hand, Blood Sisters explains it with prison life. Underneath the clang of batons and the ruckus in the prison refectory is the quiet suggestion that, outside the prison walls, with the freedom to choose, the incarcerated women would choose men. They are, it is implied, only Gay for the Stay. The uneven hand with which the show handles homosexuality comes into sharper focus when ranged against its heterosexual couplings. The disgust it evokes in the former is absent in the latter. Even when it portrays heterosexual relationships that transgress norms—a woman dating her late son’s best friend; a man on a cuck wheelchair, watching another man have sex his own wife—they manage to retain emotional content and remain sexy, even approaching romance sometimes. The setting also lends dignity: the heterosexual couples have sex in air-conditioned opulence, in clean rooms and on clean, immaculately white bed sheets. However, just before the female prisoners engage in non-consensual sex, we are first shown a dark, dank hallway, suggesting both literal and figurative dirtiness. Then there are the soiled walls, bloodied faces, and rumpled prison outfits. We are asked to imagine unwashed bodies, foul smells, and the very real risk of contracting STDs. The language is just as vulgar: an inmate, with a hiss and a scowl, tells another to "chop toto." It is anything but sexy. It is just sex, dirty sex, stripped of style and emotional content. Meanwhile, sex talk between the heterosexual couples borrows the low poetry of erotica: the cuckold, for example, asks the bull to kiss his wife's neck, to trail slowly from her thighs to her navel. The language and tone are both as soft as the pillows on which the wife rests her elated head. It would be unfair to lay all blame on the filmmakers, though. They too are constrained by the same law that persecutes gay people—the same law which, as often enforced by NFVCB, regards even the slightest flattering portrayal of homosexual relationships as contravening the Same-Sex Marriage (Prohibition) Act. But this is ultimately no excuse for filmmakers, whose duty it is to tell full human stories. I should expound on this in an essay...

rhaenyra gets saddled with the evil stepmother allegations while the woman who spent years undermining her is treated like this tragic saint who would totally stop the war (that she started) with the push of a button if only she could.... the writing choices need to be studied

Even when trying to be pro life you can’t stop making fun of them

But that one is saying it's 50 naira keke to euthanasia, foolish idiot

i was gonna check this out then saw she’s in her 20s and he’s in his mid 40s…manga/anime is allergic to portraying actual older women (esp with signs of aging) as romantic interests #nothankyou

@Iza_Sa02 the drama literally has an episode focusing on a girl who fakes SA allegations against her teachers for internet clout and petty revenge. considering this is one of the key talking points made by right wing kr men, WHY would i as a woman want to support this show

I don’t think you guys realize how extremely cruel it is for a little girl to witness her mother always being pregnant and having countless failed pregnancies, risking her life because she knew her father is a selfish and misogynistic scum. she CARED for aemma not a brother.

@blavkswann Yh, it's true. Fans were criticizing Get Schooled like in 2023 because of this, Get Schooled got removed from Webtoon in other countries.

They said that the person that wrote the manhwa that that Netflix show, Teach You a Lesson, is adapted from is a racist and sexist pos🚶🏾‍♀️

"The baby you abOrtEd could've cured cancer." So could the women you kept in the kitchen, denied education, autonomy, and basic human rights. You didn't care about them either.

explain how this is taking a toll on us emotionally, physically and financially but adult with qualifications thinks we should go her way until she fucks up us. She won't even defend us on that day so we have to bear the brunt. Money that I'm always looking for for this work ehn

analysis so when you're ready, we will now do another statistical analysis for the results of the project, you're dragging. You also want us to pay for publication with you not in it. I'm really tired and drained and I really despise this person right now We have tried to..

Omo This co-supervisor has frustrated and drained my life. Idk why you'll drag someone project because it's also your work. Work that we should have finished last month and done analysis, now that we want to do internal defence, you want us to forge results and do statistical

i no even think say una understand the concept of family

So many people on the tl watching #TeachYouaLesson. Have you all forgotten it's written by Chae Yongtaek who has been at the center of racist and sexism accusations or do you guys just don't care?

Kdrama is just a depiction of their lives over there. Mtcheew

biggest issue in the queer community is that most of you view dating and sex as the most important thing for a queer identity. it’s why some people feel so entitled towards bisexual people’s dating history and say aroaces aren’t queer.

Jokes aside, I'm the kind of person that uses the "I'm dedicated, creative and good at multitasking" answer. My mind can't go outside that.

ofc she went to high valyrian university and passed with flying colors
