but remember that it looks different for every woman. I may not need you to buy me a home or a car, but I want to feel safe and protected; I want you to fill up my gas tank, wash my car, and deal with the crooked construction workers and mechanics. Men take care of the things that they love!

I will belong to him, if he’ll have me. I won’t do everything he asks, because I’m not going to be one of those mindless women who gives up her autonomy because she thinks her man’s love depends on her obedience. I’m secure enough in myself that I believe this is what I want, this is what I’m willing to do, and if not for the guy from Japan then I’ll do it for the next person who catches my interest just right.

Predominantly feminine hobbies became a taboo and no one took interest in what women actually wanted anymore. No one even cared enough to ask. The norms changed: if you are true to yourself and pine behind a girl without actually getting to know her, your persistence will be rewarded. That is exactly what these rom-coms taught a generation of men.

I am talking about a particular vulnerable group of women in their early to mid 20s who not only use Instagram to attract their male sponsors, but curate a lifestyle brand over it to legitimize themselves and potentially earn money through corporate brands. The sponsors can range from local young wealthier men, older married men, to diaspora men who sponsor their online lifestyle a normal 20 year old from a low-income family with a minimum wage job, small earning business, or no job, in Mombasa could never afford in exchange for dates, or more. However, their following is not only their sponsors, but young girls who admire them and potentially businesses who believe they built their brand from scratch. What is troubling is that it creates a false reality for young girls, as if they do not necessarily need education to make it, and that it is easy to be an influencer and make money when it is not, it is a full time job. It potentially glamorizes and normalizes sugaring as something safe, admirable, easy, and doable when it is not. It continues the unequal power men have in this society over women and continues the vicious cycle of generational trauma.

Sometimes a simple thing like…”I want you to come in a dress”…but what if I feel like wearing a skirt or moreover shorts. Bossy over a simple thing…I may have to signal MAYDAY.

We did also watch “The Man” by Taylor Swift, which was thoroughly entertaining though not at all subtle. And not to sound ancient (hahahaha), but subtlety is the thing really. I might have had a dictionary definition of that back in my young-woman days, but I didn’t really get how to do it.

In all fairness, and in my own gender’s defense, the men can be, often are, the cause of our drama so…
