I swear a lot of things like fgm get blamed on men, but some older somali women are terrible people!
They hate on other women for not being oppressed like them, and most of the time ironically, its always other women keeping them in that system. They put their daughters through fgm because they had to go through it, or they enslave their daughters because they were treated like maids.
Growing up I always used to hear busy body habros tell my mom "why don't you make your daughter___ instead your son, boys shouldn't have to ____"
One even told me my mom should marry me off to an old man instead letting me run around free, I was 14
If I didn't see so much guys holding these opinions online, I would say I've never really seen it from the men. Is it because they have these old ladies as lackies to keep the female gender in check
One more story on these nosy ladies.. My brother is a really kind father to his kids, and some lady actually had the nerve to tell him "he's not their mother to be so attentive to them"
