It's the obvious conclusion. If it was young boys having sex with the young girls, then the ratio would be equal. Since more young girls are "having sex" than young boys, it then means the sex is occurring with older guys Young girl+older man= statutory rape. Is it clear now?

My cousin and her husband, both ophthalmology specialists, just up and dipped out of the country last month with basically no notice. Destination: Saudi Arabia. It's a rolling wave at this point.

@GenderSaucier @KimberlyNFoster Why do people say this as if non-heterosexual couples don't have relationship issues too? Different flavors of issues, but issues nonetheless. Any time two individuals try to live life as one, it will involve compromise and work.

@KiaSpeaks Lol. This is actually a top-tier cast of random reality show characters, come to think about it.

@Bruce_Wayne_05 Is "My CHILD CAME FIRST in his exams" discriminatory? Or just happiness at accomplishment? I'm not putting any other tribe down, I'm just happy my 'child' did well. Shrug.

Just thinking about Saro-Wiwa and how the govt turned his protest into a capital offense. It's basically the same process they're trying to repeat with #EndSARS but back then I was too young to realize it. There was no Twitter then, and so the govt's lies went unchallenged.

APC is obviously playing a margin game here. Even though a lot of the 'results' I'm seeing still favor PDP, APC is trying to drive the margins down with intimidation and suppression, so their numbers in the North will overwhelm the gap.

@JDG_1980 @WanderlustRover @keplyq @feministabulous Umm, no. Not really. Is someone calling themselves a Pastor outside of church a 'denigration' of atheists? Nope. Neither is referring to a soldier by rank outside of a battlefield. Someone standing at their full height isn't calling you short because they are taller than you.

@Playm8z Lol. I think he might be referring to stuff like this. I know because I was part of a traditional dance troupe around that age too.

I'm enjoying the way women are tweeting about @wineandwhineng . Seems like they genuinely had a relaxed, carefree time. Can't be mad at that. And if you are mad at that, then you're pretty much the reason they needed that kind of party in the first place.
