If you're a woman and a man is making you uncomfortable, it is not your duty to understand his disabilities or trauma. It is not your duty to walk him through how to interact with women the correct way. It's perfectly reasonable if you simply want the interaction to end.

But if your son or someone in your care complains that he doesn't know how to get women to like him, it absolutely is your duty to walk him through it in a way he understands. If you're dismissive of his struggles and he starts trusting the manosphere because he has nowhere else to turn, that's on you. source

Yesterday I saw a video of the charred body of a 10-year-old child being carried out of the school that had just been bombed in Gaza.

Everyday for more than a year we have seen images like this. And knowing that there are people who are cheering this on, it's just devastating.

I find it almost impossible to continue on with my life doing everyday things.

I can't open the tap and get a drink of water, without thinking of Gaza.

I can't walk down the street in the sunshine, without thinking of the people of Gaza.

I can't Text my daughter good night and tell her I love her, without thinking of the children and families of Gaza.

Sometimes it feels like a contradiction to be teaching parenting while witnessing mass displacement, mass starvation, thousands upon thousands of children and families being slaughtered and oppressed. In Palestine, and also in Congo, in Sudan and all over the world. source
