The relationship between Germany and Israel brings into focus the relationship between Nazis and Zionists, now and then. Contemplate this against the backdrop of Israel mistreating and looking down upon Holocaust survivors, considered an embarrassment because they were “weak”.
This is exactly what “not all men” looks like. Exactly this. This is the man who doesn’t abuse women but stands by as it is happening. This is the man that calls himself a good man. This is the man that would like to be excluded from men are trash.
Do you know how short a life 21 years is to have this much hate? If you’re wondering what the consequences of your daily misogynistic rants are, this is it! This is what you are fuelling.
The Democratic Republic of the Congo has announced the country's first case of

Boys are not easier to raise, you just neglect them and their social development because you know the world bends over backwards to accommodate, protect and explain the behaviour of the men they will become.
Kerry Washington leads an all-star ensemble cast in SIX TRIPLE EIGHT – the story of the only Women’s Army Corp unit of color to be stationed overseas during World War II, from filmmaker Tyler Perry.
Men actually cause drama too, very often. They do it by being deeply inconsiderate, and wholly uncooperative which then causes outbursts from others, who are said to be dramatic. They pretend not to understand the backlash to their actions and paint themselves as victims.
If ever you look back on history and start asking: “Where are the women?”
This is where they are... buried under the loud and wrong voices of arrogantly ignorant men.
I realise more and more that many people were not raised. They were responsibilities that were acquired by unwilling people and they were kept alive. But they were not raised or taught anything.
My father was the type of parent who asked where the other 20% is when I got 80%. It hurt me deeply. I still suffer the effects of this today. I’m 30 years old.
Affirm your kids.
Because hegemonic masculinity is hinged on the ability to be emotionally abusive and utterly destructive and calling it strength. The idea is to break a woman’s spirit until she has no choice but to depend on you for protection. Psychopathic narcissism.
Today he will walk out of his house and greet the man like a brother. Maybe even invite him over for a drink some time while they talk about disrespectful women and racism that’s holding them back as Kings. These are the good men.
No please. We have enough to deal with without weaponising our marginality. It’s because you’re generally not a nice person and don’t care about how you relate to others. You’re also classist and arrogant. Do your work.
The woman probably had to clean herself up and go to work with a smile on her face. When this man sees her with her husband he can see the fear and trepidation on her, he knows why, but he pretends not to notice it. He tells other people what an amazing couple they are.
I'm curious: where do white people get the money to buy so much stuff when they're all unemployed due to BEE and cooped up in the house due to the white genocide? Something doesn't add up.🤔
I’m not saying this in a facetious way: I think it’s important that Americans start seeing themselves as people oppressed by a fascist government, the way they’ve been taught to see all the places the USA has invaded and is at war with. You are not free, fight back.
He attends get togethers at their house sometimes. He loves it because they are so hospitable and generous. He knows what happens on other days, that’s not his business so why should he decline an invitation to have some fun? This is a good man.
The brutal deaths of Nadine Terblanche and her son, Ruandré Vorster, were allegedly orchestrated by her lover, Freddie Stapelberg, to benefit from her funeral policies and life cover, a packed Palm Ridge Magistrate's Court heard on Wednesday.
My mother worked for Jewish South Africans at a kiddies boutique in Sea Point. The grandparents of the kids used to come in with Holocaust numbers still tattooed on their arms and verbally abuse her in the shop like baas. Only whites could shop there.
just read a tweet that stated that no one worked harder to dismantle apartheid than the J*wish South Africans. Yeah, that’s right. No one worked harder. No one. That’s a wrap on my day on this app.
One thing Germany has done brilliantly since the end of WWII is convince the world that it has completely rehabilitated itself as a genocidaire and that it is ashamed of its actions. It jumped at the first opportunity to participate in another genocide.
Now remember in your investigations, you are in South Africa, not America.
You are also one of apartheid South Africa’s corporate legacies we still live with. Make the right choices.
Men in the comments are really trying to make it seem as if I said misogynistic rants are the ONLY things that cause this. Because yes, I thought that was a reasonable position to hold.
The fact that the Coloured community by and large is deeply anti-Black is clear for all to see. It is violent and potentially deadly. This allegiance to whiteness is the most mind blowing thing because it benefits us little to none.
My Cousin got arrested for sitting on a bench in Sea Point while waiting to attend an interview at a nearby hotel and spent the night at the Seapoint SAPS. How's that for fair treatment????

I suspect some of you are not taking the fact that his victims are ALL sex workers as instructive of what is at play here, because you don’t have any regard for their lives either.
At every hour of her reign, Elizabeth II had the opportunity to say: “Hold on, what we have done is wrong and we have to fix it.”
Failing that, she could have abdicated and championed the cause of oppressed people her family has harmed.
She chose not to. Stop sanitizing her.
No ma’am, you have to make sure that your opinion is informed by facts and not the comfort of the white privilege you have been afforded your whole life. Fix your opinions and you can play with the rest of us, by the same rules. You won’t die. ❤️
Now suddenly you want SA to focus on “its own problems” when you are never bothered about the death and violence experienced by Black poor people in this country. In fact, you subtly cheer it on and blame the victims for their violent circumstances. Just say you love apartheid.
I’m curious know what kind of work environment is created at Waterfall licensing centre for their staff to be so efficient and friendly. Who is leading this team?
Why are white people so violent? I’m convinced it’s a cultural thing. This is why our country is fucked. I miss the good old days when they were in Europe.
Moral of the story: do not underestimate the deeply twisted capacity of men for endless psychological warfare to maintain the impression that they are the victims of a made up gender war driven by women and queer people.
From the very beginning of the cascade of actions, they are fully aware of what they are doing and are in fact hopeful for the outcome in which they can perform this ignorance and victimhood.
It’s so funny that married people have this fantasy that single people have less responsibility. Marriage is literally a “life pooling” exercise for the purposes of splitting responsibility. Unmarried people are responsible for every single thing, alone.
South Africa is a failed state. We are all just ambling along to soften the blow of realising that we have failed and we have been failed.
We are building smart cities and tech villages while women can’t even breathe.
South Africa is the toxic family that silences suffering.
We can hold two truths at the same time: Jewish people were the victims of a great atrocity, and crime against humanity, namely the Holocaust, and also enjoyed the benefits of white colonial power after being admitted into whiteness in places like apartheid South Africa.
And more simply: if you see a man exhibiting this behaviour, disengage immediately. Do not give it a chance, do not give it the benefit of the doubt. He knows what he’s doing and he is the conductor of that emotional orchestra. You’re being played.
Men have used financial power to enforce authority and control on women, knowing patriarchy enables their dominance through pay inequality. When the odds don’t swing in their favour suddenly they realise the harm of the system, but only to themselves.
For those who still naively believed, this current historical moment has again revealed that the majority of white South Africans do not align to the national interests of the country and when they do, it’s not for the benefit of disenfranchised and oppressed people.
But because they play the role of the person being shouted at, they can turn around and say that they never cause drama but everyone is always shouting at them.
I have not had contact with my sister for 4 years, and when I cut that tie, I was sad about losing access to my niblings, but I said they will find me when they are ready.
Yesterday my niece contacted me. I had been thinking about this day, every day, for 4 years.
James Baldwin told us white people in settler colonies like South Africa owe their entire identities to the system of racism. That is why to them we must be insane to attack it. Attacking racism is attacking them.
It is not by chance that Africa is in the hands of cowards who tap dance for colonisers but massacre their own people. That was also designed that way. We’re waking up.
We don’t talk enough about how Black parents actively sabotage us and our progress because they don’t know how to manage their trauma in ways that don’t involve passing on their suffering.
Thousands of years ago, Inuit and Yupik people of Alaska and northern Canada carved narrow slits into ivory, antler and wood to create snow goggles. This diminished exposure to direct and reflected ultraviolet rays thereby reducing eye strain and preventing snow blindness.
On Coloured Marginality:
Yes, Coloured South Africans are marginalised. We form part of a very large group of marginalised people and also make up a large chunk of poor people living in uninhabitable conditions.
We share the this marginality with other Black South Africans.
Last year this time, I had left an abusive family situation where I was staying, with no plan. I had good friends who opened their home and accommodated me for 6 months on top of lockdown.
It’s been almost six months since I moved into my now fully furnished home.
I’m proud.
Guys, also, my aunt once got into the shower with her glasses on and when it started fogging up she screamed for help because she thought she was going blind.
Do you know what ta-day is?? It’s our anniversary!
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I could not have known such beauty awaited me and yet, 3 years later it still feels like the first day.
😍😍😍😍😍
I don’t think many people know just how manically racist Marike de Klerk was, so I’m going to remind you on this auspicious occasion:
She referred to Coloured people as a non-persons; the leftovers of god’s creations.
Update: she and my mom came to spend the weekend with me. It was as if no time or circumstance had passed. We fell right back into our relationship. She treated my home as her own. We cooked. We ate. We sang. We danced. We laughed. We spoke. She says “Free Palestine”.

Some of our parents are married today because our fathers wouldn’t stop harassing our mothers.
Our mothers gave in because being unhappy and pretending was better than being killed.
Some of our fathers have raped our mothers and celebrated it with baby showers.

Gotta give it to SA for being able host Brics heads of state, 54 African heads of state,UN secretary, 100s of international diplomats and other dignitaries with such ease. We have a lot of challenges as a country but it's moments like this that makes one proudly South African.
And these people are the most difficult to commune with because they are highly defensive about their shortcomings because they’ve been in survival mode forever.
You know the aunt that just upped and left, and never contacted the family again, now everyone says she’s toxic but won’t say what actually happened?
I’m that aunt.
White people, serious question:
How are you comparing this lockdown to apartheid when you’ve always claimed you didn’t know it was happening, how bad it was or that you weren’t there?
What are you comparing it to?
Don’t ever call us keyboard activists again. The way the president is addressing femicide is lifted directly from our tweets. His advisors follow us. They see the way we speak.
