In the wake of #SarahEverad death and the rubbish that some men are spewing on this street, I want to talk about how we allow the violence of men in plain sight because they are famous. These violence targeting women by famous men is not new. Let’s use #PiersMorgan & #MeganMarkle
It is really funny and dishonest that we pretend to not know that the action of #PiersMorgan is not driven by #FreedomOfSpeech but by the fact that #megan “rejected him” according to Piers himself.
This obsession of #PiersMorgan on #MeganMarkle is seen here in this picture. Imagine for once many women like Megan but without the influence of Megan who have fallen victim to men like Piers with all the power and connections. Who speaks for them?
We are here ignoring the fact steering us in the face. Report of sexual harassment and domestic violence targeting women has increased since the lockdown independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-n…
We live in #Britain where a judge gave lenient sentence to a man who killed his wife, cos accordingly him “he flipped out” and to the judge that’s enough excuse bbc.com/news/uk-wales-…
For as long as we excuse men like Morgan, women will never be safe. We can talk all the rubbish we want on this street, but that’s the reality of thing.
This brings me to the disgraceful attempt by some in #Nigeria to discredit #FeministCo, a group of women who stepped into the position of leadership during the #EndSARS protest and tried to accuse them of corruption under the guise of accountability
These same men demanding for accountability failed to realised that men like Segalink also collected money during #EndSARS but has never for once made any public declaration of his spending.#UpFemco
Woe betides you if you are a woman who rejects a man
Wow betides you if you are a black woman
Wow betides if you are a woman who says no to a man
Wow betides you if you are a woman who has a voice
We all can type our lives away shouting #NotAllMen, but we know deep down in our little enclaves, that it is all men. The men that do it, the men that support it, the men that ignore it, the men that question it, the men that are silent and the men that personalise it.
Even me typing this, how often have I invade women spaces, talk over them and suddenly realised that I am playing a role in this whole fucked up script. Yes it is #allmen, we need to be speak up take responsibility and be accountable.
