Lmao. Tosin, in more than two occasions, you and I have had conversations were we took offense to certain statements made by people that seemed to normalize women being less or settling and other conversations but now that it’s Mummy G.O. its double standards? https://twitter.com/tosin_akintan/status/1282811133662056451
lol. It is understandable that you’d be coming from a place of bias because favoritism. If you’re going to reduce every other advocacy of feminism to just “equal opportunities” and forget other parts, don’t come here and speak on double standards.
If you’re gonna be honest with yourself, you’d understand that this isn’t “choice” but “conditioning”. And the fight is against being/feeling conditioned to a position of servitude as opposed being a partner. Also add that conversations have been going on - before now -
on how women are only celebrated for their suffering and being less and nothing more, and that is exactly what happened in those tweets. I know you though, and I understand you’re being biased, but don’t scream double standards or try to box the work all to fight your agenda.
Also “equal opportunities”? How is being less equal? Or equal has a different definition and is exempted when it’s with your faves?
I believe a birthday message is to celebrate someone, their life and what you love about them. And good enough, that’s what you love, but if we were not looking at this particular family and it was someone else only able to list out the servant qualities their partner had -
it will still be the same energy cos it’s really trashy that the only thing you can say about your partner/spouse is how they “serve” you. If you “refuse” to not see that, that’s okay, I love you, but don’t scream double standards here.
Lastly, that message wasn’t “just” for her, but also throwing shades at other women that don’t act like his wife. It’s amusing and incredibly irritating to see tbh, but that’s on that.
