This is awesome! Thank you @marcel__za for this tweet that highlights the issue that so many of us are trying to explain regarding #MenAreTrash... The issue? That too many men are either too sexist, too callous, too toxic, too disinterested, too invested in the way things currently are, or too offended by a hashtag to even understand what women in this country endure.

For many South Africans, and pretty much every South African woman, yesterday was harrowing. The terrible rape and murder of #UyineneMrwetyana and the abduction of 6 year old Amy-Lee de Jager brought into the spotlight the terrible fear that all South African women face daily. And women took to social media to express their fear, mainly using the hashtag #MenAreTrash…
But perhaps the worst part (if it could get any worse) was the number of men who took umbrage to women speaking out.

A while ago my life took an unexpected turn when, overnight, my wife transformed from @kirstybisset into a #Swiftie. Perhaps it was gradual, but it felt like it was sudden. Either way it’s been a strange journey, so I thought I’d share some of my experiences as a #SwiftieHusband. First, some advice for other partners of a Swiftie. If you are in a relationship with a Swiftie, you need to make peace with the fact that it is a polyamorous relationship, and that you are the not the primary partner. Don’t resist or challenge it. Just accept it. #SwiftieHusband
