madubesbrainpot – MaDube's Reflections
https://madubesbrainpot.wordpress.com/author/madubesbrainpot
The possibility of reprisals is high but silence is not an option. So I shall speak. Reflections from Tahrir Square. Feminist ‘Chronicles’ Month. When I was nominated for an Award. I HAVE NOT WRITTEN IN A WHILE. When you pay the site a visit, I hope you will forgive me for my long absence. Should I even be the one nominated for this award, any award for that matter for the work that I do? I thought of the poor woman I met in Pretoria; a refugee, driven from her home and comfort, rendered an orphan, force...

When A Mother’s Love Become’s A Son’s Crutch | Ricky In Real Life
https://rickyinreallife.wordpress.com/2015/07/30/when-a-mothers-love-becomes-a-sons-crutch
Ricky In Real Life. Life is beautiful, well, most of the time. When A Mother’s Love Become’s A Son’s Crutch. Asymp; 6 Comments. The past few days have had me thinking a lot about how the way our mothers raised us influences us. More particularly, how it influences our relationships as men, with the women on our lives. The other day I listened to a radio discussion where the talkshow host asked, do women contribute to men thinking it is ok to abuse them? Larr; Previous post. Next post →. This was a very i...

Man Pains. Being A Man’s Man In A Changing World | Ricky In Real Life
https://rickyinreallife.wordpress.com/2015/07/25/man-pains-being-a-mans-man-in-a-changing-world
Ricky In Real Life. Life is beautiful, well, most of the time. Man Pains. Being A Man’s Man In A Changing World. Asymp; 6 Comments. Whatever, my point is, if we weren’t so guarded around each other it may just do wonders for our self-esteeem, but beyond the occasional all-knowing mutual head nod, we don’t dare cross that line. Why? Because of a questionable sense of masculinity. Larr; Previous post. Next post →. Thoughts on “Man Pains. Being A Man’s Man In A Changing World”. July 25, 2015 at 5:18 am.

Feminist ‘Chronicles’ Month – MaDube's Reflections
https://madubesbrainpot.wordpress.com/feminist-chronicles-month
The possibility of reprisals is high but silence is not an option. So I shall speak. Reflections from Tahrir Square. Feminist ‘Chronicles’ Month. Feminist ‘Chronicles’ Month. 2011 is coming to an end. What a year! For me it ends with heartbreak because I lost the love of my life. It however also ends with hope because I gained a lot of insight into love and relationships. I wonder why masculinity, as it is currently (most times) exhibited, characterised by male pomposity, domination and arrogance has not...

The possibility of reprisals is high but silence is not an option. So I shall speak. Reflections from Tahrir Square. Feminist ‘Chronicles’ Month. Why #Tomana ‘s Comments Are not Surprising. Prosecutor General, Johannes Tomana is on record for telling the Chronicle. In one breath Tomana gave paedophiles a pat on the back and justified child marriages.

The Unbearable Heaviness Of Blackness | Ricky In Real Life
https://rickyinreallife.wordpress.com/2015/08/12/the-unbearable-heaviness-of-blackness
Ricky In Real Life. Life is beautiful, well, most of the time. The Unbearable Heaviness Of Blackness. Asymp; 1 Comment. Can one exist as a black person in South Africa without anger? Is it logical, possible even, to just want to exist without the burden of all this continent’s, no, this world’s history upon your shoulders? Don’t you dare ask why either. I’m asking though, is there not another way? What if I choose to focus on building communities rather than tearing down the perceived status quo? I spent...

The possibility of reprisals is high but silence is not an option. So I shall speak. Reflections from Tahrir Square. Feminist ‘Chronicles’ Month. Reflections from Tahrir Square. This post marked the beginning of my “blogging” life-the inception of my one-woman-Revolution. Thanks to the 14 year old boy I met that day and thanks to Manal and Alaa for assuring my safety in Tahrir Square*. I do not eat human flesh! I do not live in a jungle! I am not poor even though my bank account is empty! Many people hav...
