@thepleasureactivistt: Episode 20 - The Stolen Pleasure Files | Bride price is described as a sign of respect for women. But what it actually does structurally is to turn a woman's presence in a marriage into a return on a prior economic investment. And a woman whose body was part of a transaction between families never fully experiences sovereignty over it within that marriage. I am not arguing against intention. I am arguing against structure. And structure matters, especially when you are trying to understand why your relationship with your own body has always felt, slightly and persistently like it was not fully yours. #deconstruction #brideprice #africanwomen #fypppppppp #viralvideo
