I was talking with a Somali friend one time about my time in Africa (Ethiopia and Kenya) and I told her about this one instance in Ethiopia where my male cousin was flirting with the maid who worked for us, mind you the cousin in question was TWELVE and the maid was like 20 or 21.
I remember telling my mom and aunt and both just ignored me, I felt really icky about the entire situation because hooyo had warned me about older guys many times so I was so mind boggled why they were turning the other cheek in this instance.
When I started calling the maid a creep and telling her what she was doing was wrong, my family started treating me like I was jealous?! I was just trying to look out for him walahi
Anyway she tells me that it’s super common for that to happen and starts getting into wild tales about how in Kenya this 15 year old knocked up one of the maids TWICE and that it’s more common than you think….
Does this stuff actually happen a lot?! I’m actually disturbed
