#tweetwithmalelogic

           

It's been a long week for me, blooming with heartache and frustration. 
Then I came across the hashtag #tweetwithmalelogic; a lens on male privilege.
It's heartbreaking and liberating. I'm not the only one who's experienced the absurdity  and finally 
someone has said it.
For the women, some of the posts will strike home, for the men, allow this to teach you.
A few of my favourites

'Hi. What is up?I'm from sub-saharan Africa and everyone, myself included, I've ever grown up with is dark-skinned. However, me and my successful friends won't consider going out with A WOMAN who isn't light-skinned. OHMYGOSH!!! WOMEN....BLEACH?!?!'
                                *****************

Her: ...it was the most terrifying experience of my life, I was completely scared when he locked the door & threatened not to open it until I gave him "something. Him: let's play Devil's advocate here, what if he wasn't being serious?
                                 *****************
Men: We love women who have their own money Woman: *owns nice car and house* Men: You are scaring men off
                                 ****************

Women can't cheat, because they cheat with EMOTION, but we men cheat only for sex, and yes the sex may be with the same exact girl I have been cheating on my wife with for a year now, but it's still just about sex, where do I take her for our anniversary?
                              ********************

A KEY that open many locks has value, but a lock opened by more than 1 key is useless. So by equating inanimate man made objects to human bodies, despite the absence of correlation, I am proving my point.
                             *********************

-If you were 'raped,' you must call police immediately or it didn't happen. If you wait, you're a: liar, golddigger, bitter, crazy, trying to come up, ruining man's life, had bad date, etc. Don't even get me started on bitches that wait years... 🤔🤨🙄

Sad times

    If was in Kenya, I'd have attended 3 burials this week. Then I learnt of a fourth death this morning and was shattered. We're overflowing in this boat, thanks to the Grim Reaper,  and don't have the words to capture the heartbreak and pain experienced this year. Sabstone, Nikki, Captain, Sam, Kinuthia, Uncle Mbugua, Isabella, Muciru, Ken, Anne, tens of  friends/relatives of friends and acquaintances. May they rest in peace May God comfort their loved ones May they find strength and support systems to navigate their loss May we who've been left behind be grateful to be alive May we live May we extend grace and love to those who are mourning

Motherhood penalty

  Of course I've heard of it. The theory that there's a price mothers pay in the the workplace for well, being mothers. I'd never thought of it till recently. My daughter and nephew came home after schools were closed in Mid March and I'm the sole parent. Five and a half months later, they travelled to  Kenya and are now staying with my sister and her family in Mombasa. In the five weeks they've been away, I have attended a 3 day off site team retreat and visited 2 branches for 5 days. I am typing this from a hotel room, on a 3 day field visit to a 3rd branch. The only way I am able to travel this extensively and for long periods is because I no longer have care giving duties. I'm lucky that my remuneration isn't directly tied to these field trips. Millions of working mothers aren't and have to make difficult choices. My heart aches for all of us.

Self doubt

Some weeks ago my friend Emily Ward posted this self doubt quiz on Twitter . Took it since I struggle with impostor syndrome and live with a lot of self doubt. Today, I went through my results and was blown away. It was spot on. I'm wondering who leaked my script to Sas Petherick. Try it and see
