On this platform, we address the men 98 out of 100 times when it comes to issues that concern us. During these conversations, I don’t see women asking me to switch the questions back at them (the women). We focus on the exact topic (s) and discuss it.

When I address women directly, I see comments like, “Ife, the right thing to do is to ask the men why…”

But today I’m addressing the women dear, shall we stay focused?

So many odds are stacked against women already; we know that, we address that.

However,

some ladies get upset when a sad truth is being addressed about women, I suddenly become judgemental, the things I have not implied become implied, the lines between my statements are no longer paragraphs but invisible space loaded with meanings I myself haven’t even thought of;

you begin to read between the empty lines.

The liberation of women must continue and in doing this, we must ask ourselves the tough questions. Some of our decisions as women are rooted in entitlement, greed and lack of self respect; in other cases, necessity.

We can say these things and still be on the side of women.

There are many sides to a story, let’s learn to address that which is directly before us.

I saw your attacks in my DM yesterday, it changes nothing.
