Orange Tables

Casually scrolled X and stumbled on this tweet. So I thought I should talk about the obsession with submission.

This obsession especially when it’s constantly placed on women has become louder than it is thoughtful. Submission is often stripped of context and turned into a tool for control, not partnership. It’s presented as the ultimate virtue, while qualities like mutual respect, emotional intelligence, accountability, and shared responsibility are quietly ignored.

What makes the fixation unnecessary is how one sided the conversation usually is. We barely see the same energy applied to men

At its core, this obsession reflects discomfort with women having agency. A confident, self-aware woman who can say no is often labeled “rebellious” or “too much,” while silence is praised as virtue. But relationships thrive on partnership, not hierarchy. Submission.

Submission is a concept I've found unnecessary over the years and instead, would rather we emphasized mutual respect.

HAPPY NEW YEAR FAM 🤗

A community of women who have chosen courage and solidarity.

These fellows have spent months learning, questioning and finding their voices for themselves and for the women who's stories have been ignored.

These women put in the work, they are the legacy in motion. Congratulations to them 🥂
