Truly one of the more disappointing things about society in Nigeria. People are minding their business and finding joy in their expression. Not harming you in any way. And you go out of your way to target them, polarize them and make them moving targets.

You don’t even meet society’s standards of what it means to be a morally upright individual.
Yet, the moment you find people you can easily ridicule, knowing others will join you, you suddenly appoint yourself the morality police.
Before you become the judge of everyone else’s life, perhaps remove the log from your own eye first.

You’ll record men who work in hair salons, men who are tailors, fashion designers, in the creative space, and post their videos online as clickbait, knowing full well that people will try to ridicule them.
You’ve been going to hair salons all your life. You know that a lot of the men who work there are effeminate. You know the same is true of some men in fashion and other creative industries. You know this! So why are you suddenly acting surprised?
There are millions of men who fit your definition of masculinity. Focus on them if you wish, but stop making a spectacle of those who don't.
Stop deliberately singling people out, turning them into content and exposing them to public ridicule simply because they don’t fit your idea of what a man should be.
These people are simply working, earning a living and minding their business. Let them be! Don’t make videos of them.
LEAVE PEOPLE ALONE!!! ❤️

It’s interesting how people attend fashion shows, pick out videos of men dressed a certain way, put them together, and suddenly the conversation becomes, “We are losing our men.”
Meanwhile, that same fashion show has plenty of men wearing regular shirts and trousers, but those videos rarely get the same attention.
It is a FASHION SHOW. A FASHION SHOW! Nobody is losing anything.
If you want to see men who fit your definition of “masculinity,” go to a stadium on a Saturday, visit the gym near your house, and have a field day.
We really need to be more mindful of the narratives we push, especially when we know, and have seen, how these narratives can put people’s lives and safety at risk.
There are things we all dislike or disagree with about other people, but that doesn’t give us the right to ridicule them or encourage hostility towards them.
You have a platform. Use it responsibly.
Leave people alone!❤️

Ngl Canada making this a requirement on the front of food packages that apply was a great idea. as someone who never looks at nutrition labels, it actually works and makes me wonder how high the sugar is and if it’s a ridiculous level I won’t get it

It was ONE fashion show and they invited her to wear a unique piece because it made total sense. Let’s be real. Kylie Jenner is not stealing anyone’s modeling career or taking a professional model's spot. She was brought in for an iconic pop-culture moment. If anyone else had worn that Fantasy Bra, it would’ve just been another look on the runway. But because it was Kylie, it’s all anyone is talking about. She ate, and the impact speaks for itself. People can be mad all they want but you can't deny she’s ICONIC. She delivered. Period. 👑
