Barby's Diary

Hi Hunnayzzzz! How is your week coming? Today is an emotional day for me, but I will try not to cry…lol. I’m happy though, and I thank God all the same. Note to myself (and to you guys of course): Be Positive always. If you’re in my part of the world, you must have heard last week, one of the trending topics on social media: #ThingsILongThroatFor…it is just ''Things I Long Throat For'' merged together. It started as a tweet by a famous artiste in Nigeria. Apparently, it was a promotion for a brand’s new product.

What haven’t I told you guys already??? My life is one open secret! Ok, back to the story of my life…

One of the definition is that; Feminism is a belief that MEN and WOMEN should have equal rights and opportunities. Another definition says ‘’it is an organized activity in support of women’s rights and interests’’. Well, if you align yourself with the latter definition, I support you. I’m all for women rights and interest 100%. But I think the former definition should be classified…’’equal rights and opportunities’’? Where? This should be limited to workplaces; level playing ground for both sexes, ability to hold public office as the men, fair pay, maternity leave when due etc. Also; right to education, right to own property, right to vote etc. Feminist movement which also seek to prote...
