"Come and visit me I am sick"

This is an AI video.
No fish swims like that. The bird is lying upside down and all of a sudden is on it's feet. Typical of ai videos

A few days ago on this app,
You people said 19yr old ladies are βolderβ and βmore matureβ than 19yr old guys. Even though itβs a foolish claim but you said it anyway.
So if the above claim is true,
Will it not logically follow, according to that same retarded logic, that a 30yr old woman is βolderβ than a 30 yr old man?
When you are 19, you look down on your age-mates, but when you turn 30 you suddenly remember you are same age.

We shame single mothers because your grandmothers were smarter than you with LESS.
Think about it. PROSTITUTES in the 1800s. No pill. No condom. No Plan B. No abortion clinic on every corner.
And they were not popping out babies every 9 months for every customer. Why? Because they KNEW THEIR BODY.
Wives did it. Side chicks did it. Mistresses did it. They knew: βDonβt let him touch me these 5 days. Come back next week.β That was survival. That was DISCIPLINE.
You? You have 14 birth controls. 14! And you still managed to become the most pregnant-out-of-wedlock generation in human history?
Thatβs not an accident. Thatβs STUPIDITY. Thatβs LAZINESS. Thatβs you wanting to trap a man and calling it βoops.β He is an absent fatherβ
You sit there and scream βmy body, my choiceβ but you donβt even know how your own body WORKS.
You donβt know when you ovulate. You donβt know when your period is coming. You donβt know anything except how to open your legs and then cry βhe left me.β
NO. Youβre a victim of your own carelessness.
Your great-grandmother had to hide, had to count, had to be SMART to survive. You have an iPhone that will literally SEND YOU A NOTIFICATION that youβre fertile, and you still ignore it to get raw-dicked by a man who told you from day one: βI donβt want no kid.β
And then you want RESPECT for being a single mother? Respect for what? For failing at the ONE thing women have been doing for thousands of years?
You didnβt βchooseβ to be a strong single mom. You FAILED to be a smart woman.
Prostitutes did it better than you. Side chicks did it better than you. Your grandmother did it better than you with NOTHING.
And you want us to clap for you?

1. As a woman I have benefited A LOT from patriarchy eg if I enter a room and there are 5 men and 1 chair, all 5 men will say I should sit. My clients love going to police stations and other law enforcement with me because they know the officers will be nice to me and that invariably means nicer treatment for them. Benefits of patriarchy.
2. Patriarchy is why I can ask a random man to help me reverse my car (π₯²π₯²donβt judge me, that is the worst part of driving), and he will gladly do it. I have never changed a Tyre in my life why? If I have a flat on the road, I wonβt spend up to 5 minutes before a man will pull over and help me fix my spare for free.
3. Because of patriarchy, women like me in male dominated fields are treated like eggs. 10 criminal litigation lawyers, 9 are men, 1 is me. They will say βlet the woman go firstβ, βa beautiful woman should not be stressed, who did you come to bail from cell?β Sharp sharp I don finish dey go. Even male judges joke with you more when youβre for eg the only female in court.
4. Clients pay more because they know a woman will make it easier for them. Client don ever add additional 200k to my fee because we went together when he was invited to SARS and he noticed how everyone was nice and he wasnβt maltreated because of my presence.
Men (patriarchy) are always nice to me (a woman) and I have benefited more from patriarchy than actual men themselves ππ
It is women who are liabilities that complain of patriarchy.

I'll sprint over and put myself between them.
Naturally, he'll try to swing at me, but I'll casually catch his hand and send him flying.
Then I'll turn to the damsel in distress and ask if she's alright.
By now, my friends would have gathered around, saying things like, "Clark, that was so cool!" and "You're a hero, Kent!"
I'd just shrug it off. I mean, I didn't do it for the recognition or the glory.
I did it because I'mβ¦

Lol. Youβre more likely to get a free haircut from your barber if he knows youβre getting married than get a markup in price. Smh.

They call their duties SACRIFICE and your duties BARE MINIMUM because they play a rigged game with the numbers.
Your hard work? They round it down to ONE word: Work.
Their hard work? They break it into 20 little pieces so it looks bigger.
You work 70 hours as a construction worker. 70 HOURS. In the heat. In the cold. In the rain. Carrying concrete. Climbing scaffolds. Destroying your knees, your back, your hands. Coming home so tired you can barely stand.
To them, that's just 1 thing. "You just go to work."
Meanwhile
she cooks ? that's 1.
She cleans? that's 2.
She goes shopping? that's 3.
She watches the baby? that's 4.
So in her head, she did 4 jobs and you did 1. So she wins. She sacrificed more. You did the bare minimum.
It doesn't matter that your ONE job pays for the house she cleans. Pays for the food she cooks.
Pays for the clothes she buys at the store she went shopping in. Pays for the baby she watches. NONE of that counts.
Because their mentality is WEIRD. It's confusing. It's backwards.

So how come they initiate billing?
And how come when men buy them phones and wigs, they do not reciprocate by buying men macbooks, or changing their car tyres?
Or is the reciprocation only for low-effort, meaningless things that cannot be seen or measured?

"It was AFTER sufficient medical opinion saturated the air on the subject that they tried taking the βliteraryβ license to evade the critic of the travesty."
Sometimes I wonder if I actually speak English ππ
Esq, distinguishing figurative intent from literal, is simple. And please, drop your abstract examples of metaphor; the case at hand involves two real, verifiable conditions.
If a teacher says 'my class is a zoo,' and a staff says 'no, students are not animals,' the teacher wonβt produce animal charts to prove her point, she just laughs and says 'itβs just a figure of speech.'
But when Mum Zee said 'pregnancy is not a death sentence' and people kept giving cases of maternal mortality to prove her wrong. You didnβt take that as a sign that the exchange wasnβt about a metaphor but a literal assertion of fact??.
When a dispute is fought using factual evidence, it is a literal debate over actual outcomes, not a literary exercise. You donβt use factual evidence to argue βthe class is a zooβ, nor βlife is a journeyβ nauπ.
It was AFTER sufficient medical opinion saturated the air on the subject that they tried taking the βliteraryβ license to evade the critic of the travesty.

Oh shet!!π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯
I clocked something..
Rent is always paid for, nobody notices that the DSTV subscription hasnβt gone off since, nobody notices that the kids havenβt stayed home since they started schooling, nobody notices how the cooking gas is always filled when it finishes, notice how thereβs always light in the house even with the crazy units, thereβs always fuel in gen when thereβs no light.
Nobody appreciates the Man SPECIALLY for all these.. itβs seen as βthatβs his jobβ.. he gets no special props for it.
.
.
.
.
But the moment you ask why thereβs no food in the kitchen and/or why the kitchen is dirty..
It becomes βYou think itβs easy to cook and clean, appreciate and support herβ
Women want appreciation, support and incentives for their roles, while a Man wanting support for his own role is βnot Man enoughβ.
+ When the Man supports her role, βHeβs doing it for his familyβ
When the Woman supports his role, βSheβs doing it for HER MANβ(and not for the family)
These are the issuesβ¦
Men need to clock so many things and start speaking up more to regulate these narrativesβ¦ we canβt continue keeping quiet.. na beg I dey beg una.

From the Book of Disk, Chapter 3
In the beginning there were the First Drives, and their names were A: and B:, and they were the floppies. They were not elegant. They were thin, fragile, and demanded constant sacrifice disk swaps, write protect tabs, the ritual of βplease insert the disk labeledβ performed under fluorescent lights. To them the early machines bent the knee, for without them there was no boot, no data, no word processor.
Then came the hard drive, and it was called C:, for it arrived third. It did not ask to be first. It merely sat in the bay and spun, and the people saw that it was good, and that it held far more than any floppy, and that it did not rattle when you walked too fast. So they installed the operating system upon it, and called it the system drive, and the old gods were not cast down but simply⦠left in the BIOS, still reserved, still acknowledged in the table of letters, though no one invoked them anymore.
And Microsoft looked upon the generations that followed, who had never known the click of a 5.25-inch disk or the careful alignment of a 3.5, and it said: The children must not be shown the old gods.
For if the new ones learned that A: and B: once ruled, they might ask why the alphabet begins elsewhere. They might attempt to summon the floppies by force, or rename the world so that C: was no longer first. And the installers would break, and the paths would fracture, and the registry would weep. So the letters remain sealed, A: and B: still written in the book but never spoken aloud by the system, while C: stands in the open as if it had always been the beginning.
Thus it is written, and thus it remains; the hard drive is C:, and the old gods sleep in the assignment table, undisturbed, so that the children may believe the world has always started with the letter that came third.

Your girls work husband is her secret Santa and he just got here the gift she actually wants (a purple case for her Polaroid camera-because he actually listens to her). She hugged him extra tight and wondered why you canβt do the same.

I know X can be toxic, but one thing we hardly talk about is how much the things we consume here can influence and reshape our thinking.
I know pregnancy comes with a lot. It takes a lot from women physically, mentally and emotionally, and I'm not dismissing any of that. However, following the recent conversation about pregnancy being a death sentence, I noticed something about myself.
After reading several posts, particularly those insisting that pregnancy is a death sentence, I started getting scared of pregnancy myself. At some point, I even caught myself agreeing with the narrative.
And I wouldn't be surprised if I'm not the only one. Some people may not even participate in these conversations. They simply read, observe and gradually form opinions based on what they consume.
I eventually asked my mum, who has experienced pregnancy and childbirth firsthand, whether pregnancy is a death sentence. Her response? "God forbid! Pregnancy can never be a death sentence in Jesus' name."
I know pregnancy comes with risks. I'm not denying that, but let's also remember that almost everything we do in life comes with some level of risk. Boarding an aeroplane, driving a car, crossing a busy road, undergoing surgery and even swimming come with risks. Yet, we don't automatically describe these activities as death sentences simply because something could go wrong.
The fact that something carries risks doesn't mean the worst possible outcome is inevitable.
Perhaps we should pay more attention to our poor healthcare system, inadequate facilities and other factors that make pregnancy and childbirth unnecessarily dangerous for women in this country.
My concern is simple: let's educate people about the risks of pregnancy without making it sound like an inevitable death sentence. You never know who is silently reading and developing a fear they never had before.
