My brothers are entry-level misogynists. I say this because the thoughts brewing in their heads are borrowed from social media and friends. They complain about imaginary girlfriends taking their imaginary money. At first, I was triggered and would argue until I was fuming. One of their arguments was that women don’t have sufficient knowledge in their fields. I brought up women presidents, business leaders and sports women. Another argument was that women are “too emotional” (the typical argum...

I have been devastated since Friday about the fact that my passion must either be commercialised using a sustainable model or must be assisted with a stable source of income. “How did you not know this and how have you lasted this long?” You may ask.
