The issue here is that women want to hold on to this narrative because it serves their preferred position as victims. If they do not frame pregnancy as a death sentence, speak about it as though it were one, and get everyone else to perceive it in the same way, how else will they claim victimhood? How else will they gaslight? It isn't that they do not understand the biological reality of pregnancy or know that it is not a death sentence. They know. They simply find the rhetoric useful because it serves their interests. If it didn't, they would have kicked it to the curb a long time ago.
Nigeria's maternal mortality rate is so high that it accounts for the highest in the world. The number is so astounding that a vast amount of 1000 women die per 100,000 birth, accounting for an astronomically high 1% maternal mortality.
This also means that everywhere else in the world, it sits below 1%. In the US, 18 people die per 100,000 births and in UK it is 13 deaths per 100,000. In Belarus and Norway, it is just ONE death per 100,000 births.
Pregnancy as a death sentence is a Nigerian conversation. People outside this country don't have this stupid thought. Abroad, there are people that carry pregnancy for the fun of it because they enjoy the experience. Na you just want die from pregnancy.

When you hear intelligent people talk, you'll know. You cannot aura farm intelligence.
And there's a great difference between being articulate and being intelligent.
Articulate people know how to communicate. An intelligent person might not even be articulate.
But you can see them processing information in real time and while the output might not even be perfect, you'll watch the refinement in real time.

Esq, distinguishing figurative intent from literal, is simple. And please, drop your abstract examples of metaphor; the case at hand involves two real, verifiable conditions.
If a teacher says 'my class is a zoo,' and a staff says 'no, students are not animals,' the teacher won’t produce animal charts to prove her point, she just laughs and says 'it’s just a figure of speech.'
But when Mum Zee said 'pregnancy is not a death sentence' and people kept giving cases of maternal mortality to prove her wrong. You didn’t take that as a sign that the exchange wasn’t about a metaphor but a literal assertion of fact??.
When a dispute is fought using factual evidence, it is a literal debate over actual outcomes, not a literary exercise. You don’t use factual evidence to argue “the class is a zoo”, nor “life is a journey” nau😂.
It was AFTER sufficient medical opinion saturated the air on the subject that they tried taking the “literary” license to evade the critic of the travesty.
A lot of arguments about the right to use blanket exaggerations, similes and metaphors that cater to sensibilities without any pushback
Just another day on Twitter

For those “people” who genuinely believe that ‘if you are not a woman, shut up about women’s experiences’, I have a question for you, if you have a brain that works, even if it is part time:
If you have never been pregnant,
Why are you commenting on pregnancy? Because only pregnant women should talk about pregnancy.
If you have never had a child before,
Why are you commenting on childbirth? Because only biological mothers should talk about childbirth.
This ordinarily means that the vast majority of you loud-mouthed empty-brained idiots on twitter are commenting on something you have never experienced, and you should equally shut up - by your own lunatic logic.
This is the inevitable conclusion of this retarded reasoning but it’s a waste of time showing you all that irrational bias has put your heads in a permanent reverse gear, and if even a fish had the brains that some of you are using on twitter, it will start swimming backwards.

Why Men Are Giving Up on Marriage
This clip from my interview with @Codie_Sanchez has racked up tens of thousands of YouTube views over the past week.
I'm actually pretty sympathetic about the plight of the 'average modern man' but of course many commenters were mad anyway.

This is so stupid. The woman/girlfriend going over to his house, spending time with him and sleeping there, paid his house rent? You people are sucking the joy out of everything with this money, money thing.
