Yesterday, we all saw a video of Omoh F., a Nigerian soldier assaulting a woman because he had his uniform on and he had a belt. Simply put, he assaulted her because he could.
While this was going on, a young man in the audience repeatedly said to the lady being assaulted,

“He can be your husband o...respect him.”
A woman is being assaulted, another man asked her to stop arguing simply because, in another life, this assaulter could be married to her which automatically gives him the right to beat her while she’s OBLIGATED to take it.

Therein lies the reason we say patriarchy is ingrained in our society. Not only do men hold the power, but it is also generally expected for them to wield it as they please without repercussions.

How do you speak against your ilk when it could easily have been you, your daughter, sister or best friend? Can’t you see that these men who think they’re better than you are in the same group as white supremacists?

Dear women, I know you don’t want to be labelled ‘nasty or angry?’ but think about it this way,
