A heartbroken man. (Courtesy/iStockphoto) Heartbreak is a universal experience, yet the ways men and women navigate its stormy waters couldn’t be more different. When a relationship ends, women are often stereotyped as the more emotional party, crying into tubs of ice cream, listening to sad playlists, and journaling through their pain. But while it may look messy, that raw vulnerability is a crucial step in their journey to healing. Men, on the other hand, are society’s stoic heartbreak warriors, masking their pain with bravado, road trips, and a suspicious uptick in gym selfies. But is it really so simple? And…

When we don’t have to fake pronunciation of English words to…
Father and son talking. (Courtesy/iStock) Fathers ought to be celebrated more than mothers. You see, conception is the kind of marathon that even Eliud Kipchoge faces with more uncertainty than the full marathon of 42 km. Men are the most determined creatures on planet Earth. Achieving fatherhood means a man could have overcome rejection by the woman and sometimes humiliation by her family before finally succeeding in crossing into the space of being accepted as an in-law. The pursuit of being a father starts in the savannah grasslands where a man has to fight to emerge ahead of other hunters…
A throuple relationship. (Courtesy) Many are wondering where the Gen Z mojo that was so hot went to. The Gen Z movement simply disintegrated because the medicine for greed had not been discovered yet. No doubt, selfishness is the fertile ground around which all social good fail to germinate, or rather the seeds rear their heads but do not form leaves, and if they form the first set of leaves, they wither immediately and dry up unceremoniously, ashes returning to ashes. I don’t know if you all find it confusing to tell white from black especially when it is dawn…
