Women are money wise until they get to clicks and Dischem.

We do not talk enough about how many women stop enjoying their birthdays while they’re married. Not because they “don’t care about getting older,” but because the day becomes one more emotional obstacle course to manage. She is not waking up wondering what cake she wants or how she wants to feel; she is scanning the room, reading his mood, lowering her expectations before breakfast. By the time the candles come out, she has already spent the day protecting herself from disappointment

Nothing exposes human selfishness like money that must be returned. The moment someone is in distress, they approach you with humility, urgency, sometimes even desperation. They appeal to your empathy. But the moment the money lands in their account, the power dynamic shifts. Your urgency is no longer their urgency. Your sacrifice is no longer visible to them. Their life continues unencumbered , while you are left holding the expectation of repayment. And from that point forward, the debt is serviced ( if at all) on their own terms, according to their own comfort, their own timing and their convenience. I repeat, nothing exposes human selfishness like money that must be returned.

How much more mollycoddling do we BLACK MEN really need when, for centuries, systems, institutions, culture, politics and religion have overwhelmingly favoured and protected men? We Black men, despite the real and painful history of colonisation and its cousin racial oppression we still benefited from patriarchy and male privilege in ways women simply have not. Patriarchy did a number on all of us. It forced women into subjugation and they forced their way out of it. It taught us men entitlement, emotional avoidance, dominance, bullying and never bothered to teach us accountability and emotional growth. Instead of unlearning and unchaining ourselves from its horrible regressive teachings as men we cling to them blaming the world for leaving the boy child and men-children behind while we are refusing to do the mental and emotional work and the much needed catching up to the world. Dear boys, men and men-children, step out of the patriarchal box and its delusions. Embrace being human. Learn emotional literacy beyond anger, violence and silence. Learn how to be decent, responsible, resilient, accountable, self-aware adults who embrace failure and fallibility with grace and strive to do right by yourselves and the world around you. Black men don’t need more grace. We need to grow up. PS. Yes, fragile as they maybe on the outside women, have proven to be far much more resilient and sophisticated than us men on all counts. Top pedigree beings those ones. The sooner you embrace this too; the better.

LATEST NEWS! We continue with our introduction of the new Editorial Board members joining us this year! We’re welcoming to our Digital #Journalism Editorial Board 19 new members, and here’re 4 of them – @JoanneKuai, @simranoff_, @RanaArafat12 & @SNkoala. Welcome onboard!

People don’t realize that you can actually push someone so far that they no longer want anything to do with you anymore. This applies to friendships, relationships, or even family. Sometimes, people assume that because you love them, whether as a friend, partner, or family member you will continue to tolerate anything, disrespect, neglect, hurtful actions , lack of effort, or emotional stress. Everyone has limits, and there is only so much one person can take before they choose peace over connection. Even the most patient, kind-hearted person can reach their breaking point. When someone continuously feels unappreciated, misunderstood, or mistreated, they can reach a place where they emotionally disconnect. And once someone emotionally disconnects, it is very hard to repair that relationship.

Today marks the start of the 16 Days of Activism for No Violence Against Women and Children. My call to media colleagues is to be mindful of the stories you tell over this time and how you tell them. theconversation.com/16-days-of-act…
